So , Ive been doing a lot of thinking lately .....can be "dangerous to my health " 
...... about backdrops for my layout . After seeing Tysons latest effort , and some of the backdrops on other layouts I was trying to decide on what to do .
The Pros :
1. Effective way to add interest and depth
2. Reasonable cost
The cons :
1. In HO , most backdrops are 3-4 feet high and it would destroy the ease of managing my "walk-around" layout .
2.Low cost for masonite , yes , but I'm still adhering to a strict budget and a desire to use up what I have in materials .
What to do ?
I have a lot of complete and mostly complete models stored away from the old steel mill layout . Why not use them ? My new layout has a steel industry them about it . ..........

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
