Hi there,

@ MLW. Thanks for your kind words,too.
Finally I have to post some update pictures of my layout. I made some small changes and also some progress during the last weeks. Not to much but also small things can change the whole look.
First part is on the industrie area on the upper level. There are the two elevators and Prarie Coast Farm equipment pressed into the corner. I removed that business,stretched the tracks up to the walls and moved the second elevator away from the first one.

And yes,there´s some paint on the background

The small warehouse moved to the other side of the tracks and will be now a small construction business or something like that. Prarie Coast Farm Equipment moved to an new location.

Finally I lengthened the interchange track a bit to store more cars if needed.


A tracklevel shot of the two elevators. I painted the backdrop behind Wreigths Food Service,too.



So as I said only small changes but a big change to the overall look.

Next step was to finish the inbound tracks for Northwestern wood preservers mill for tankcars,boxcars and from time to time some hoppers. The deliver the other goods needed for manufacturing plywood etc. The tracks will be glued down on some 2mm cork. The buidlings are only mockups and will be changed later.


Left track will be for tankcars, right track for boxcars in the background between the buildings and hoppers. I´m waiting for the curved Peco turnout to finish trackwork.

The next thing I´ve done was to find a location where I could build a small engine servicing for storing some of my locos. I found a proper location on the lower level next to the yard and siding. It´s only a small place but it will be a small service area. Enginehouse will be a Pikestuff The Shops kit with interior.I covered the interior walls with roofparts of that kit. It will get some details inside like an Peco inspection pit, maitenance platform etc. I´ll build an fuelplatform and sanding tower outside the building.




This is version two of the engine servicing and also the final version so I have to change the korkbed for the current version.

The track to the far right on the front of the layout will be for storing some caboose or engines.

The last change i made was on the Canfor planer mill. There was a wooden post on the front corner of that area and distrubed the whole look of this place. After some thoughts I cut it away. It looks way better now.

before with the post

After i have removed it.

Two Alco´s sitting on the main.

Main is on the left with the Alco´s and the entrance to the Canfor mill is on the right side.

So that´s all for now. More progress on all those small areas will follow soon. Thanks you for watching and following my build.
Any ideas,tips or comments are always very appreciated.

Cheers,Chris
