thanks much for the overall shots. You've packed a lot of action in that space. I still think those indian ruins are a great touch and make the layout timeless.:thumb: :thumb:

Wow, impressive layout Fifer!!! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail really shows. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more pictures. I like the clean lines of your control panel; how did you build it? Jim

Fifer. So far I see nothing wrong. It all looks great and I can't wait until you get some foilage on it.

 

[Matthyro]

You are making great progress Mike. Will look forward to see what foliage and stuff you may add.

Thanks Guys

Thanks Guys ,I hope to get the rest of the existing plaster painted around the other half of the layout sometime this week.
I got out the bright boys last night and got a train running.
All the wiring is done except for the 2 reversing tracks.
I have about 6 or 7 hundred trees made up and would like to start planting on the mountain. I need to do the icey creek running down above the facia opening on the helix first.
