Georgetown & Allen Mountain Railroad: Barnesville

I have started to install roadbed on the Barnesville peninsula. Barnesville is the east end of the railroad. The town is named after my good friend Walter Barnes.

 

 

I'm embedding magnetic reed sensors in the roadbed in case I ever want to run some kind of automatic operation. 

 

 

I could save the old Barnesville passenger station from my old layout. Still needs a lot of work to complete it!

First two structures at Barnesville

I have placed the first two structures at Barnesville. Both buildings have been saved from my old layout. Both are completely scratchbuilt.

Road crossing at Barnesville

At the Barnesville passenger station the road must cross all four tracks. I have used posterboard again to create the road. As this is N scale the road is only two inches wide.

First bridge and tunnel portal

I haven't had much time to spend working on the railroad so this is all that I accomplished during the last 2 weeks:

I built a bridge and installed it.

I also stained a Woodland Scenics tunnel portal and started building the tunnel.

Mountains!

I have started to build the mountain ridge that will separate both sides of the Barnesville peninsula. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Those mountains are looking great! I'm hoping to visit you again in the near future and see your progress in person.

Great work

I especially like the detail on Bonnie's Diner. So the loading dock is integrated with the main entrance stairway - nice.
