Managed to get all the foam glued down two weeks ago. Beginning of the week managed to get all the elevations cut in and the grade pieces cut out and sanded down. Tried my best to make them as smooth as a change as possible and think I got it pretty good. Had Thursday and Friday off from work managed to get the cork glued down. Did about roughly 3 feet of the layout at a time(was limited to how many tacks I had thought a 100 would be enough was so wrong) and got a few more turnouts built while waiting for the caulk to setup in between. Saturday sanded the top of all the cork to make sure every was as smooth and flush as possible and then thoroughly cleaned my living room. Besides building the last 7 of the turnouts I'm waiting on the last few items to come in that I don't know how I forgot to buy a long time ago( jewelers saw for insulation gaps, bright boy(the ME flex I bought was weathered rail), and rail joiners) before I can start getting the track down and feeder wire and turnout throw locations drilled. 

Here is a quick photo rundown of how the layout stands as it is.

Looking down the yard....oh got rid of the fourth yard track and went with a shorter version of the stub track in the original plan(track on the left). Next stub track over will be the freight dock then the curved interchange track and finally the grade down to the propane co.

Here is the top of the yard the bulk reload on the left, the spur at the top is the abrasives mfg then the curve downgrade to the "industrial area". I plan on building up a bit of a hill at the beginning of that curve maybe a slight rock cut look with a bunch of trees to kinda separates the two shelf legs visually but that's down the road a ways just a thought at the moment. 

Here looking at the bottom of the grade. On the left is the elevated spur for the ready-mix facility and the lumber yard to the right.

Looking down the rest of the layout the Proposed Plastic facility or wood pellet dist. spur on the left, The long spur for the appliance dist and cardboard box mfg. Then the runaround track and team track spur.

Here is a shot up from the end of the long shelf. The really light part on the top of the foam were the seams that I had to sand flat. The spur for the team track looks like its pretty shard but when I was laying the track centerlines down found if I built the turnout with the curve going through the frog instead going straight I could keep it as a number 5 turnout and still fit. I still need to build that one though and free handing that leg is probably gona fustrate me but it'll be worth it.

My goal is before it gets cold out to get the track down and painted and the fascia and backdrop up and painted. This way over the cold part of fall and the winter can use some of the extra indoor time to some scenery done and structures built. Can't even remember the last time I build a plastic model so sure it isn't going to get done quickly. But really thinking about just picking up some shaped and plain styrene sheets and strips and scratching/kit-bashing them all. We'll see though.

Will post more updates as I get things done.
