Ralph,
The new road tunnel looks great .One thing I would add though would be a build date to both tunnel entrances (year only) .It would give the tunnels some history.Other than that

Bet'cha all thought I forgot about this. The scene is s-l-o-w-l-y coming together.
Here's a shot of the overall scene so far.

Glad you're still working on yours Tom! It's coming together nicely. I like the underpass amd you do smooth work with track crossing the street..

Latest update: I have started to pave the main drag in downtown Mountain Gap. Still lots of work to be done in this area.

The sidewalks are poured. Still need to do some leveling so the buildings sit flush with the ground. Also need to add more alcohol/india ink so the joints in the sidewalk stand out a little better.
Mike, thanks for the kind words.
Ralph, I pour the crossing with plaster of paris and then take a sureform and smooth it all out. Then take a hack saw blade and cut the flangeways.
