All is coming together nicely...I particularly like the "transformer rack'...a vignette often forgotten or tossed-in by someone (like ME), less observant of the importance of these details to the overall scene. Very well done, and awaiting more, thanks. Bob C.

Woah! This is really taking shape and looking real good, e-paw. Very impressive. I just can't get over how good it looks.
I can just see a bunch of steam engines parked all over the place, getting coaled, watered, sanded, and ready for the next run.

Very nice work! You've definitely captured it, and the late-night landscapers are really pulling it all together. Looking forward to more photos...!

Thanks everyone. SP1 just check closer to the beginning of this thread and you'll see the build with lots of pics of the X-former rack. I got to do a little more detail work the the roundhouse aria. First I want to show an over view of the facility to give a feel for the site. With all the moving around I damaged some of the upper windows of the main round house, maybe that will be the excuse that I need to finish them up.

lastly for today I felt some spilled coal was in order under the coal dock. It's a mix of Anthracite " blue and uncolored " and soft "bituminous" coal.

e-paw!
Those little and tiny spillings looks great and add much realism to the layout.

Planted some more trees on the hillside in Easton Pennsylvania.
The empty space on the left will be filled in with a rock face.
I did add a rock seam in the hill, This feature is very common in my neck of the woods.
The last view shows the gap where the CNJ branch squeezes between the mountains to join in with the SH&D at their large Yard in Allentown.

Scenery looks great!! Rocks are a nice touch!!
Re: new project - Gary S - 06-19-2011
The rock debris around the service tracks is a wonderful touch. Very very nice. Too often we make our layouts pristine, perfect ballast, perfect ground cover, etc. It sure makes a big difference when you throw in the little extras that break the monotony. Excellent work being done in this thread!
Re: new project - Ralph - 06-19-2011
Great looking scenery! I especially like the last photo in "the gap". Even with the bare surfaces and unballaseted track in the foreground those hills look real!
