Alright. How's this?

At the far left is my closet workbench. Panning left to right, the first benchwork is the small bit jutting out into the room where the lift-out span will be. The paint bucket and tools are at Watson, the new roadbed is on the new benchwork section under the high window, and the small diorama with the little blue building is the 'Ocali Outfitters'. More on that later. The gap in the subroadbed climbing along the right hand side is where the arch bridge will go and the water tower used to be attached to the outfitters diorama. The green & white buildings are the passenger and freight stations at Pinto at the far right.
Tomorrow I will lay roadbed up the hill to Pinto and start laying track out of staging. I had it tacked down with track nails originally, but I will re-lay it with adhesive caulk. I have been very pleased with the results of that method on the trackwork at Pinto. I am very excited to try my soldered brass screws beneath the rails at the first benchwork joint, and will take detail photos of this work as it proceeds.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
