Here is a picture of the river bed area. The track will be moved to the left to make room for the river and river bank.

The Threadwell site: Let the cutting begin.

Once I got a hole big enough for Threadwells I got an idea.

The Delabarre Tap & Die will fit nicely up on top of the hill - rather than down below this area where I originally planned to put it. The same siding will service both facilities. So more cutting.

Tomorrow, I will finish the base board for both kits. Here are the pictures of the kits as Bob built them from his website so you can begin to visualize how this will look.

The mill pond will fit between the two structures and be fed by a culvert under the tracks.

I'm always fascinated to see how easy it is for you to destroy entire piece of your layout that are finished to incorporate improvements. It's something that I have to learn. I hold to consider that when my scenery is finished, it must not be touched anymore.
Wondeful.

The piece of plaster mountain that was cut out will be moved about 5 feet and will be used to fill in a section that I didn't like. The key is to be able to envision what you want it to look like when your done. I do a lot of looking and planning before I get out the saw.

I just reread what I had posted yesterday, it seems spell checker thinks Delabarre should be Delaware? I think I fixed it in all the places required.

I can't wait to see your progress and finished scene.
