If you look down in the hole for the Brambell's build you will see an abandoned line that ran to a hidden yard on my previous layout. I was originally going to keep it for this layout but the maintenance was just to difficult - so I terminated  it with this scene.

The next step is to test all the LED's one more time before access is from under the benchwork. ;)  I bought the tester from Slim at the EXPO - great little tool.

Next step was to add the structures and make sure they were level.

Once the structures where in place I started to add the land forms to blend them into the other scenery.  I start out by filling all the holes with wood, old cards from hotel stays, clay,  and paper. This needs to be sealed with thick glue so the thinned glue that I use in the scenery steps don't run out on the floor.  I then add a base layer of beach sand. Here are a few build pictures of this process. After the sand glue mixture dries it will be time to add the final scenery materials.

The next generation of Engineers is starting to take over on the Superior & Seattle. Running trains is serious business.





Cute, I have a few years before grandson will be running trains.

Nice job on the slime water, wood looks great too.

Thanks for stopping by my Grandson is going to be 2 on Sunday. He knows buttons and knobs make things happen and does a great job. He watched his brother and Grandpa and just copied what we did.
