I suspected that there would be some issues with building sections apart from one another. After some judicious cutting and fitting, it seems that things will be looking good. It may not fit in my space, but another inch or two out of my aisle will only affect me. The side benefit of the lone wolf modeler.

This will be the the town center with station on the curve, and team track in the foreground. The freight station to the right with the coal dealer beyond. 

From the other end (although this view will never be possible on the layout)

The trestle on the left will become the coal dock. You can also see the curve in the plywood sub-roadbed that will but against the curved backdrop. Juaquin (bottom right) has learned to walk to the side and not down the tracks.

As soon as the balance the rails are spiked down I will have to test for continuity or may end up with some surprises when the DCC is connected!

It's time that I get going on painting the backdrop so not reaching over the layout. I've really wanted to use photo backdrops but want something that looks tropical. This is really a great excuse to ask a buddy to fly my down the coast so I can get some panoramic shots
