Lately I have been working on the backside of the layout having finished installing the roads on the front side.
The first couple of shots are of the newly installed parking lot for the freight handling area.It is made of .020 styrene. I scribed expansion joints,sprayed it with concrete color and then weathered it.

The next pictures are of the road I recently installed. It too is .020 styrene. It wraps around the cafe and has two exit points-one for normal traffic and one for vehicles entering railroad property. I also allowed some room in front of the cafe for parking.
You will also notice that at this location the road does not cross the tracks. It would have come too close to guard rails and switches.The one road crossing the tracks is in the freight area.Some imagination has to be used to envision how traffic exits the top area and re-enters the lower area.

Well,that's all I have for now.Next up will be ballasting the tracks.Not exactly my favorite thing to do. Bob
