So in doing a search, I didn't see much.  Maybe there's stuff out there but thought I would post for info.  I didn't want to tear into my ceiling tiles to hang a valence so I found some fairly cheap hooks on Amazon - about .50c/hook.  All it required was a wood frame to hold everything.  My plan is to hang vinyl flooring strips as the valence as I saw in Chris Adams' Post.  Mine is probably not the best way to do this but it's working for no

Progress is slow on the EL but thought I would post a few pics.  The desire to move to another house is keeping me from getting a lot done.  And now the real estate market is pretty much shutdown.

I am currently modeling the section between Black Rock and Fort Erie.  On the US side, the Erie Canal terminated near here and ran under the left side of the swing bridge.  It was eventually converted to the NYS thruway.
