Howdy Ron, 

The backdrop paint does make a difference in the scene. Before you know it, although it is staging, you'll be encouraged to add grass, trees, shrubs, building flats... 

Have fun,

Thanks for the comments Curt, Larry, Rick, Jerry, Gary, Philip, Mike, Rich and Tom, they are all very much appreciated.

Hopefully more progress will be made this weekend on the backdrop.

I decided to take a break from building the boxcars and did a little more work on the backdrop behind the staging yard.

The issue I have is that I painted the the layout background about 15 years (seems like yesterday) and I have to remember the techniques used when it was painted.

This update is called

. . . . . "Where Did All the White Stuff Come From" . . . . .


I decided to continue around the mountains as it seemed to be a good place to continue.





The left end of the mountain range.





The main mountain range





The right side of the mountain range.





The overall view of the range.

Thanks for looking in.
