I have found myself bouncing back to scenery in between waiting for glue to dry on my other projects. I am trying to only have one thing going at a time, but I get bored and here is the result.

I added the backdrop with photoshop, but the rest of it is real...

I have been working on my module pretty regularly and I have finally got the wiring completed so the module now has power!!

I would shoot a video of a train going across, but the module is a little short and pretty high up. Instead I grab a couple of shots of one of my cars with interior lighting...

I have just been plugging away at my trackwork on the old SP&S. So far I have completed most of the track from the Brooks Scanlon mill all the way to the mainline. I am still needing to put in the runaround track and scale house track.

I know it will probbaly slow down my productivity on the rest of the layout, but I have run out of track and am really wanting to do some scenery. I have already started on a few structures for one corner of the layout so i figure I will go ahead and do some scenery stuff to scratch my itch.

Here are a few photos:

With some time this weekend I have been very productive...

My first thing was to work on a couple of articles for MRH...

It between glue and paint drying I worked on my layout. Which included hanging the last of my lights, painting the benchwork top and even laying down some flex track. I will be adding some CVMW ties to the Brooks-Scanlon loading track tomorow and may even get hings ready for the Code 83 rail.

Well I was going to take more pictures as I went but I kind of got on a roll....

Got my subroadbed finished and have moved onto laying down my cork roadbed. I have laid out some track just to see how it will look, also the big white sheets are foundations for my depot and warehouse.

With work progressing slowly I have been able to start the subroadbed which really starts to make the railroad start to come to life. I hope that I can quickly finish the subroadbed and move on to the cork roadbed.

While I work on the backdrop I have decided to start a little project in order to be ready for the subroadbed. I have a three track underpass that will be in the middle of a curve that I need to have done so everything else lines up, I hope. Here is a mock up of the first bridge of the underpass:

A quick trip to the big box hardware store and some time in the basement resulted in this disater in progress. PLeae focus your attention to the stylish backdrop and not the clutter
