Thanks all for the nice comments.
Mark,
There is really no hard fast track plan. I know what I want the end river scene to look like, but everything in the middle is modified as I go. I have never had good luck with track plans because for me they are always fluid. Since I only work on my layout during the winter months, it gives me time to think where I want to go with it.
Gary,
The greenry is Heki 1550 and 1600 that Kurt used on his 58th Street layout. He has a nice shot of it on page 13 of his 58th Street posting.

The greenery is simply stretched and attached at ground level and then just curled over the fence. Kurt attaches his to the fence with CA. I prefer not since the tulle is pretty delicate.
All the fencing is either soldered brass or piano wire and the gates are operational. I have moved away from using plastic as conduit and went to metal since most conduit is grey or metallic in color and takes much of the painting out of the construction step.
