E-paw's Orphan challenge part 2

[e-paw]

With the control panels in and the relays working It's now time to connect the west end of the Easton branch to the SH&D main in Bath.. So let's lay some track ..
All of the new trackage will be owned by the Bangor & Easton Electric Railway. It's a fully owned subsidiary of the my freelanced SH&D (Anna Lines). I will not be installing any trolley lines, that would require me to finish all the scenery on the back side of the tracks in Bath. That is not in the scope of work for this project. In order to connect the B&E to the main I need to make a transition in height from the mains that are glued down to some Woodland Scenics foam roadbed to the B&E that is mounted directly to the layouts foam scenery base. I used a method that was taught to me by Garry (JGL Fan) . I applied some spray foam directly to the layout base where the roadbed ended, covered it with some parchment paper, waxed paper works also. I placed a scrap of wood over that and applied some weight to it.    

When it's dry everything just lifts right off.     I use a rasp and hacksaw blade to shape and couture the dry foam into something that looks like roadbed.     When I'm happy with the shape I paint it black with some basic craft paint.     This shot shows the transition all shaped and painted.
