Thanks for the looks and comments. Another bit of scenery added, this time the right front corner. I"ll confess to not doing much with the Super Trees except shaping them. The trunks are a bit off but in some ways I like the overarching dull, monochromatic combination of the grass and trees so I'm not sure I'll do much more to the tree trunks.
90 plus pct of the base scenery is in and it's been enjoyable watching the train pass through something other than pink foam. Will next tackle the road through the center of town.
Not much new. Some ballasting and grass on the front of the layout. The closeup of the loco is more a tribute to Scaletrains quality than my modeling but I like the shot.
Very slow progress. Spent a lot of time repairing my only engine when a lead separated from one of the trucks. It wasn't an easy fix to solder the wire back which resulted in melting part of a truck. My compliments to Scale Trains on their customer service as I worked with them to get a replacement.
I did shape and paint the sidewalk for my town center. The structures are a building-by-building replica of Nassawadox, VA in the late 1980's. I've never been able to fit the street in previous layouts and it's exciting to finally place them 18 years after my original builds.
I have to work on the street and glue everything down along with blending the street block into the surrounding scenery. Aside from that, I've been running trains which is always fun.
