Seeing the forest....and the trees

I have been trying to figure out what to do about the transition between backdrop and scenery. I was able to get the ground cover the way I liked it and then with some painting I move the forest up to the edge of the scenery. The next step was to start building trees...and trees and more trees. I still am working on my technique but I think I am getting there. I think my next step will to do some more tree trimming and adding the remainder of the trees.

Some more Scenery....

I was able to spend some more time working on the layout working on scenenry. I built a few trees to try out the ol furnace filter trees. They still need work but I think I am on the right track.

An Island....of scenery

Well here is my first actual scenery for the Redmond Shelf Layout. If you want to see more photos of the scenery island you can check out the Redmond Shelf

New Curve in Place...

I found some operational issues with the curve used as the runaround. Some equipment was having trouble navigating the curve and there was also a twist in the track causing some cars to lift then derail. I replaced he section with a ME 3' section of code 83 track. It is currently just nailed down as I continue to test the track and will secure it here this weekend once testing is done.

Freight Car

As I am in the testing phase of the layout I have been focusing on some other aspect of the shelf layout. One thing I have been working on is weathering cars. So in keeping with the theme here is an SP&S double door boxcar.
