Scenery - Structures
Rock castings and coloring- courtesy of the MRH Forum finishing school
Still working on connecting the upper and lower loops, and that means getting the bridges installed. Installing the bridges means getting some scenery below them in reasonable shape (not completely done, but basic stuff in place). And that means: rock castings. So without further delay, here we go: Rock castings (hydrocal, from 3 different molds) resting in place:

La Grange gets some track & Tortilla Flats gets surveyed
GS&M crews march on...
After the 1st set of track goes into place a Trio of C-630 pulls a tank train from staging up and out of the main Helix.
You can see how the main works it way out of the Helix and into La Grange. The Alcos are on what will become the A/D tracks for La Grange.

In the Czech cardboard modeling scene, car and truck models in 1:100 scale ( mini model ) had long been a popular topic. There are infinite variations from every conceivable field. Here I have listed a few models that fit my U.S. model railroad theme.
MRH 120 day challenge - not going to make it
I won't be able to complete my mountain section by the deadline. Many of you know that we're trying to sell our home and move to Florida. We've had 39 showings, dropped the price twice (total $7,500), and had zero offers. Our "Phase 2" of or plan is comprised of two items: 1.) completely empty the unfinished part of the basement so that potential buyers won't see all of that junk and can better visualize the space (18 ft X 50ft); and 2.) clear and fence a 30f ft X 40 ft heavily wooded area in our back yard to make an area for pets.

Foam issue
I am asking for help at this junction with an issue that has come up with my layout. I have a budget to get materials for the last part is items needed for my layout. That being said, I have to pick up some very thing plywood, and some pink foam. The issue is because of my strict budget, I am seeking some guidance here on how to proceed. I would like to have it all purchased at said time, due to having renting a vehicle to get it all home. The thing is with pricing, my budget falls a bit short.
