Thanks, Ron and Karl.  The first two shots are West side, then East from closer to engineer's eye level:

Leaving the girder layout issues to one side, I really like how the track detailing I've done looks from this angle.

The angle on the RH side of the coved backdrop was cut to leave a little room around the window.  From this angle, I'm motivated to splice a filler piece in. I should be able to match the sky color, I still have both cans of paint.

The East girder has styrene supports gripping the hardboard, definitely worth the effort.  I'll apply more detail to the pillars over the piers tomorrow, while working on the side visitors will see.

The scene under the overpass looks fabulous, James!

Cheers, Mark.

That looks good, can't wait to see it in person when it's done (along with the Newburyport buildings)

James,

This is fantastic looking and the track level view gives the correct perspective to the overpass. Love it!
