Only a base layer of scenery has been applied and it needs some cleanup but this is my most complete project to date. The two main structures were scratchbuilt and so was the team track area at the end. The yellow structure was a Branchline trains kit "painted" with colored pencils. More details to come in the next post.

Benchwork

The benchwork was an adaptation of my lasercut stacking modules but altered to be larger and lock together. These are each 22" long and 11.75" wide in these photos I have yet to attach the side plates that will help keep it more square but with just a plate glued between the 2 smaller 11" sections they stay together very well. The puzzle joints help get consistent alignment 100% of the time.
