Here is an extension I did yesterday to my Turntable area. I moved the fascia out about 5" and filled it in and place some new trackage in this area.

Wow, that is alot of work accomplished! The photos are terrific. As I await the completion of my train building, I am thinking about whether to make the shelf fronts straight or gradually curved like your addition. Thanks for the ideas!

Wow - things are really going great. Nice job on that scene. I like the way it turned out. Boy I wish I had the room for those long yard tracks...you can really park a lot of train there.
Cheers
