Excellent work - I love the tire tracks in the dirt road.

I had to remove part of the entrance.
But I have changed the tag. Now I have to crawl under it through!
There are, however, operational safety while riding the trains!

Hello,
In January 2012, I started the next part of the Layout for arranging.
First, almost everything was shut down!

Right side:

Is now on the free surface on the right side, a grain elevator and on the center and left side caused the "Salinas Farm Center".
Right side now:
![[Image: img_6653.jpg]](http://www.majhost.com/gallery/DundS/Layout/Anlage/April2012/img_6653.jpg)
The grain elevator is a Walthers Kit.
![[Image: img_6655.jpg]](http://www.majhost.com/gallery/DundS/Layout/Anlage/April2012/img_6655.jpg)
In the middle I used a small new part. To get more space for the "Salinas Farm Center".

The house had been made at the time when the image is still not finished. The roof is missing there.
I will report on further progress of construction on the layout.

Hello,
newstime!
For a long time I wanted a road bridge on my layout.
Now it was time to start this project.
The bridge is a railroad bridge by Walthers.
![[Image: img_6671.jpg]](http://www.majhost.com/gallery/DundS/Layout/Anlage/April2012/img_6671.jpg)
The bridge piers came from Styrofoam. These were covered with plaster and painted.
The road was built from a 3mm thick wooden board.
![[Image: img_6695.jpg]](http://www.majhost.com/gallery/DundS/Layout/Anlage/April2012/img_6695.jpg)
And it looks like it!

I hope you like it!

" The bridge is a railroad bridge by Walthers. "
I always admire the use of something for other than its intended purpose !
Nice job on converting that two track through truss bridge to a highway bridge !!
That looks great Happy to see that Bob's country store, is doing enough business to need "enlarging" ! nice construction scene !
In your "overview"......is that a small, covered, traveling crane? Over the siding?
