It's been a couple of weeks since I posted, but that's because not much has been happening on the layout.
This weekend I found some time to work on the layout, finally. I added power switching through the Tortoise switch machine for one turnout that was no longer routing power through the points, and generally cleaned up the layout. I vacuumed the tracks and got everything back into running order. I also cut one section of foam for scenery at Glenrock, but I'm thinking I'm might use cardboard and plaster instead, at least in that area.
About Me
- Mark B.
- Allendale, SC
- I grew up in Wyoming, mostly living in areas served by the railroads I model. I remember standing at the window in our Cody Wyoming home, staring at night at the old Husky refinery across town. I remember the bridge across the creek and under the tracks between Powell and Cody. I remember always looking for trains as we travelled through the Wind River Canyon. And I remember my mother's last home - a mobile home in Evansville next to the Burlington mainline.

I finally have a few shots of the work of the past several weeks.
Here's the backdrop and fascia as of the end of December:
And here it as of tonight:
The fascia is painted and the hill profiles are in place in front of the sky. The vertical grey line in the white hills is the puttied splice between two sheets of plastic.
Just for fun, here's an engine-eye view of Minneapolis staging:
