Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Progress has been slowed - my wife's on a cruise in Europe, but even though I've been living the bachelor's life, I haven't seemed to end up down here in the office and working on the layout.

I did build some more piers and some girders and started laying out my vision for how I'm going to present the breaker.

   

The layout here is not level, so one of my first tasks was to develop a level reference line on the backdrop near where I'll install the 2nd floor, which will be a piece of foam board fitted to the curvature of the backdrop.  Got my laser level out and marked the backdrop.  

   

   

To get the piers right, I'll have to shim under each one (after adhering them (and their support girders) to the foam board).  I'll also probably end up doing all of the scenery on the base level and around the piers before anchoring the foam board and the piers.  I'll also need to paint out or scenic the backdrop on the base layer, which will further disguise the entry to the storage level.
