Busy week!

Well, a good week for trains..

First off, I managed to get fascia up on the curve and along in front of the mill.

I need to cut in the profile of the scenery in the boards. That'll happen tomorrow with the help of a friends Rotozip. The last photo shows the cut outs for the booster and the access hatch for the curve when the hill is built. The hatch will be held in place with magnets instead of hinges. I'll update when it's done for those interested. The balance of the fascia will be installed along the front where the yard is and along the scrap yard.

With the fascia installed, scenery can begin. My first project is getting the bridge reinstalled as well as the concrete abutments. I'm also working on a master for the tunnel portals as well. More photos as I get stuff done.

Ops update......

Well, I've got three industries installed in on the layout...

This is the location of the scrap yard. Located just away from the town, it'll keep the eyesore away from the city fathers. It will also provide 1-2 car loads a session.

This is a shot of the yard in town. At some point, it will be a terminal for the local switch job and the branch line job. I'm going to start laying out the track this weekend. There is also a crossover to be installed as well on the main here so the local can switch. On the back side will be a packing house and a feed distributor. The town will also be behind the mainline.

Here is the last shot, showing the OSB mill tracks and the LPG track. The molding mill will have covered loading tracks on the right and woodchip loading on the left. The mill is going to be decent sized, since I don't like small industries! :-)

Another update will be done later this weekend.
