Here’s an update as of today on my Hitop expansion. Where my siding was at the left edge of the original layout I have removed all the buildings from”Allied Chemical”, cleaned the area, and put down a green blend ground cover as a base. I’ll add static grass or coarse ground cover, then plant a row of trees along the edge. The siding is now the new main.

The two modules on the left hand side were bolted together and attached to the main layout, then leveled. Track plan was laid out on these modules as well. The last photo shows testing a strip of WS roadbed under the new main.

Next step is to patch some spots with Sculptamold, apply a base of plaster cloth, and start permanently laying track..
