John, thanks for the reply and info on that roundhouse.  Good luck with your goals!

 Tom had a supplier he was using but my old age is kicking in and I can't remember the name of the company.

You are going to find it much easier to make progress on the layout once you get that other big project out of the way.

Backdrops are in...so many directions I can go next. I should probably get the remaining track support (and track) in place...basically just two substantial sidings. The 3-D scenery will be up and over the "plains" at the bottom of the backdrop image. I also have some mountains on a previous backdrop that I may try to cut out and position over the existing backdrop for a little more depth and complexity on the far left...I'm not certain it will work, but I'll give it a try.

Remaining track-sidings/roadbed...

1. short one over a bridge to a dramatic mine scene at the far left...with a fairly deep gorge between the mine and the mainline curve in front
2. a long sweeping curve connecting the existing HOn3 "high line" to the elevated scene on the peninsula. The river crossing will also show me what I can include, in terms of waterfront industry (if any) when I allow for scenic grades, etc. The entire far right is still unclear...I'm fighting hard, mentally, to keep it simple and without trackage...just some large spaced out structures and lots of nature up to the backdrop.

Both will really help me visualize the landforms to come.

The backdrops look great, John!

The backdrops are very well done.

Coming on nicely, John.

It's a fun part  the process.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks guys...I'm glad to be done with the backdrops, although I still may experiment a bit with adding pieces cut out of a prior backdrop to lower the horizon on the far left before I begin any landforms...just a matter of exploring a possibility with what I have on hand. I'm not too sure it'll play out, but I'm going to give it a look before I move on.
