January 2008

A lot of new things happening on the layout this year. I am expanding the one end of the layout adding about 100 Sq Ft.

Below are some progress shots.

Here is Jill helping me with some backdrop painting.

Next came the clouds. We used some cloud templates made by New London to spray paint the clouds onto the background

Here is my first attempt

This is what was the final version of the clouds

Next onto building the new benchwork

A little A little farther along with the benchwork

Roundhouse/ turntable area

Here is the arch bridge in it's new spot on the layout

Now with some water painted in and the bridges built crossing it

Some retaining walls now in along the bank closest to the roundhouse side
