A bit of progress here:

I added the tram track to the mill scenery last night. I used some 1/8" plywood to form the roadbed coming out of the mill. Since I had added a 1/8" floor I had to shim the outside track for the correct level. I glued a piece of track to the floor of the mill, flush on both ends and them added the outside track. The track is glued down with Mocha-colored acrylic caulking. It's the first time I've used it for track and it holds very well.

A shot of the mill, track and train after everything dried.

While I was at it I finished off the foam formers for the lower scenery, below the track. I plan to fill the spaces with crumpled newspaper before using the plaster cloth to cover. The white block is a plaster casting I'm playing with. I'm thinking of using it in the corner to form a hill/mountainside around the backdrop.
