Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Looking really good Todd---can't wait to see the finished results.

Thanks for the kudos, Ed.  Being able to share this stuff with you guys is lighting a fire for me.

One of the true rhetorical questions for model railroaders....  "Is a model railroad ever really FINISHED?"  My answer? Usually, only at death or dismantlement...  

  I got a request from Clever models last year about my kitbashed I-80 bridges.  They asked me to submit a photo "when the scene is complete".  After a bit of laughter and pokes and jabs at myself in the mirror, I had to give them the bad news that it may be a few years - the foreground scenery will not be addressed until I complete the scenery between the track and the backdrops all around my layout.  Same deal with track ballasting and other track-specific detailing.  

I have decided that after I pour the river that I'll be concentrating my scenic attention on the background areas in the Mud Run area, and (drum roll please....)  Mud Run will receive the first foreground scenery ever to exist on "Rainbows in the Gorge".
