I'm looking for some idea on how to handle structure that meet the facia. I'm finally starting to add structures to the layout and trying to decide what might look good.

Well I've seem to have survived the Pandemic of 2020. With that I decided to start to build the peninsula, here's some pictures. 

The start:

Bench work going in

Roadbed going in:

Its been a slow year on the Ft Worth Sub, but progress has been made. After a lot of work and a lot of help from many people I finally have my Staging Yard Control, up and working.

When a operator is ready to take a ride onto the layout he hits the track button for his train and it will turn track power on and train will proceed per a JMRI route onto the layout.

Well the first spur is in and occupied on the Ft Worth Sub. Man, more to go but its a start. So far the mainline and passing siding are also in and wired up. I can finally run from staging to this area ans switch out some cars. I thought this day would never get here. I would like to say thank you to everybody that helped me get here. The saga continues. 

Well surveying crews have extended down the line to start working on the Small yard. Here is the plan:

And here are some pictures of road bed going in and backdrop going up, enjoy.

Well, I've finally gotten the staging level and small helix completed to have track crews start construction on the main level. So roadbed is down.

I'm having issues with deciding the height of my backdrop for the layout. One issue is deciding on if i'll ever add the third deck. So far this stage of the layout has taken me forever so I'm not even sure if adding the third deck is worth worrying  about. If I just keep the deck tht I currently have what is everybody's ideal height. I'm thinking somewhere between 14" to 24" high.

I've finally have my Staging Yard area installed, wired and working and working on my first control panel.

I'm looking for some location ideas from more advanced people, who have done operation before, on where to place the 3 tablets to control the staging level. I am using JMRI Panel Pro to create this panel.  

Here is my first panel:

I recently got a CMX track cleaning car. I'd like to do a MOW Weed Spraying train. Does anybody have any pictures so that I may model one?

Well for what seems like an eternity, bench work for the FWWR main deck has started. Staging Yard is complete and now addressing the helix to main deck meeting.
