Thanks Wayne, I think the pace will be slowing down a bit now that spring has arrived, but I can see myself puttering around the layout room and the workshop in the summer as they are both in the basement and remain cool in the summer heat.
That being said, I worked on the terrain between the mainline and the branch over the past couple days.
I decided to use the old cardboard weave for roughing in the scenery. I like how it makes nice undulating hills . I'll be covering it with the hydrocal towels shortly.
I also cut the plywood fillers that I mentioned in my previous post. The smaller pie-shaped piece is screwed down but the large one isn't yet. I want to finish the terrain just beyond before attaching it. I am starting to think of the trackwork for the sawmill. I plan to have two sidings, one for logs coming in, the other for loading cut lumber, just like the previous layout. The trick will be to fit everything in. I think I have about the same space as I had before (maybe a little more) but I now have to contend with the curved mainline on one side, the river on the other.
