Thanks Tom, Dennis and Karl!  Comments very much appreciated.

I promised some pics once the waterfalls were installed. My grandson, 9 years old, loves the trains and structures, helped me create the falls. We only got the rear done so far but below are some pics.

Keep in mind these are fall from finished water features.  Lots of scenic work to blend in rockwork, hide edges, etc.

But I must say, the little guy does nice work.

Here is your standard "looking up the falls toward the factory" shot:

Summit Street connects Old Head and the cliffside factory. After re-arranging the structures several times, I settled on this arrangement:

Different angle on Summit Street.  Building those connecting sidewalks and stairs will be fun.

Thanks very much for checking in, Paul, Karl, Mark, Lynn and Greg. I appreciate the support.

Greg, me, too!  The scene, and pretty much the entire layout, is successfully turning out to closely follow a mental picture of what I want. But I'm not a detailed planner, as many people are. Strangely enough, my model railroading hero is the great John Allen, who was an extremely detailed planner!
