John,
Beautiful work being done on your layout ! Thanks for sharing the story thru this thread since 2014.
Did not know that I was sitting across a great modeler at the NNGC last year ! Very impressed with your modeling.
Will look forward to all the new planned additions.

Thanks Tom, I've had a ton of help on the layout. Much of the structures and rolling stock in the photos were built by others like Reading Bob and Dave Fugere. There are other structures on the layout built by ACLTom, Loren (FSMCollector), and Vilius as well (on the other side of the backdrop)..I really enjoy putting it all together with scenery...I'm trying to balance out the structure count so that I can claim half myself. Not there yet.


Thanks, John

Thanks guys...I've been in a bit of a lull but I have plans to get a little more scenery done this weekend.

I got a good bit done today and yesterday. Scenery is making its way towards the fascia. My goal for this quarter was to finish the scenery on this side of the layout (up to the river/stone bridge). I still have the foreground, which will feature a rickety road - mostly supported by trestles, to complete and, most dauntingly, a Sierra West kit to be built. Do-able but not without challenges considering my workload.

A few more angles

Fantastic work!  It is really coming along nicely.  The only criticism is that I think you need to work on reducing that workload.   I hope you are still planning on a trip to Sacramento this fall.

I was pretty much resigned that I wouldn't this year, but just this morning I realized I should...50/50 right now. I'll certainly let you know

Thanks guys ...much appreciated. I just got a box 'o trees to plant...but I'd be wise to ballast the short bit of unfinished track before "foresting" away my access. Hope to get some train time for Father's Day
