Folding staging deployed at the west end of the layout. |
A major part of the transition from a focus on track laying and wiring to a focus on scenery is the trestle and creek scene. It is the one location where some scenery must be completed before the track-work can be finalized. At the least, the initial landforms must be in place for the trestle with its bents rising out of the landforms to be installed. A later post will discuss the technique I chose to use.
For a final test of the track-work I want to prepare for and conduct a first "operations" session. This will require that I complete a few more steps as well.
First Steps for Scenery:
- River bank and hills/cuts around trestle--initial landforms
- Complete trestle
- Track ready for paint
- Paint any bare plywood
Next Steps for Operations:
- Mount Willow Springs control panel
- Final NCE UTP installed
- Bill boxes and labels in place
- Program locomotive
Looks like you're going to be busy for a while. 😀
