I got some more work done! Rounding the curve takes us behind Empire Grain and a cayon of silos.
Since track behind Empire Grain is hidden I decided to treat this area as a different location, which I'm calling "Owdaseit". I suspect the name may be of mixed Algonquin and German heritage, but I'd have to check wih the Chamber of Commerce. I made modifications to the backs of the Empire Grain structures to create another large industry; Hudson Cement. To add some visual interest I added conveyors crossing over the tracks. I also filled in noticeable gaps between track and buildings.
More bad photos of the TV screen...sorry...but its the only way I can get a picture of the area right now.
I also made a small commuter station for the hidden community.
Here is an unfortunately fuzzy image of the station platforms.
At the end of this section I added some details to MM tower such as the tell tail and the sign for Marion NY.
I'm getting near the end of this project. I'm hoping to film a run around the layout using one of those USB coverters mentioned in previous posts so you can get a better look at the cosmetic changes along the tracks.
