Perkins spur - or a journey in HO modelling! Picture update!

Good morning,

Got around to finish soldering and connecting the feeders on the main, siding and NE spur this morning.  In the meantime, I got a few pics of some progress.

The outside curve with a radius of 25 1/2", pinned in place.

Perkins spur - or a journey in HO modelling! Another picture update!

Good morning gents, 

Another update with pictures dating from the debut of September showing the progress of my layout.  Some tracks, mainly the turnouts are in their final, glued position while the tracks continuing east have just been pinned in place temporarily.

Looking at the start of the runaround and with the diverging spur leading to the paper recycling industry.

Perkins spur - or a journey in HO modelling! Update

The brown lines are the height contour (3/4") for the industry in the upper right corner (NE).  On the lower part (S), it's again 3/4" but for the mainline that continues out of the layout to the (S) and (W).

I'll post more tomorrow and thanks Damin for the compliments, this plan was a real pleasure to work on and if I hadn't started building it, I could have modified it over and over and over...  well, you get the picture! :-)

Some of you may have seen this already as it has been posted elsewhere, but I thought that this community his bigger and better :-) so why not repost it and see what kind of feedback I can get!  As to not abuse of your patience and time, I won't put everything at the same time.

So... let's start...
