Hey guys, sorry for not replying sooner - been spending all the time on the new bridge.
As for the backdrop, I very much appreciate all the suggestions. Gives me lots of options and I find myself pondering how I should do it - the answer will eventually come. I did check out the backdrop place and that looks interesting.
Kevin, the walls are already painted blue with hazy clouds fading to hazy gray down at the layout. I am estimating that the backdrop scenes won't be any more than 3 inches tall at any place, and even less than that. A painted on "hazy suggestion" of the horizon is what I am thinking right now, but using a backdrop made from my photos is appetizing also.
I haven't even been in the train room more than 2 hours over the past several days. Just sitting here in my workroom enjoying the work on the bridge.
