Hey all,

Last night I was able to "finish" a scene on the Great River Railway Club layout last night and thought I'd share a before and after picture of the area. What blew my mind, was that it only took about a month to do this scene. (BTW, come check us out on Facebook for more pictures and progress)

So anywho, here's the Before:

And now the After. This is from the area to the bottom left of the above picture...

Thanks everyone for all of your help! You may not know it, but I've learned a TON by simply stalking ya'lls posts, checking out links, and reading your suggestions.

No Mountain in PA?

Here's an early pix from Horseshoe Curve Altoona PA before all of the tracks being installed.

Kinda looks like mountains to me.     Russ

foreground

Here is a photo of the foreground. I needed to get the scene done before completing this part of it...

This is going to be a river that bends into the scene, goes over a waterfall and then runs out of the scene
