A back drop would really enhance the layout.

Thanks,

Thanks, It's funny you mentioned that because two people just said the same thing on a different website. Do you mean on the wall behind the 4x8 or on the shelf part?

Backdrop

Definitely, agree with @jimfitch. I would put it on both the 4X8 and the shelf. I would also have it cover the entrance into staging. If you can see the train terminate in staging, then it ruins the off-to-distant-places-illusion. And a fascia. It's backdrop and fascia that give the "complete" look. That aside man, great update, the layout's coming along nicely.
