Track ballasting for the entire layout is completed! 🎉🎉
I started working on the layout again this week. My earlier goal of completing the layout by June 2021 did not happen. If all goes well, I should be wrapping this up by the end of the year. I started this layout in July 2017, and I have been slow to work on it. The slowness is intentional due to a downsizing move into a smaller house. I really wanted to savor the experience since I have no room for expansion.
Things should start coming together quickly now. I am going to start adding additional scenic textures and static grass next. I need to affix a section of the photo backdrop, then blend it into the backdrop with acrylic paints. Additional details will be added to develop the scene. Lighting fixtures will be installed at the very end. My valance set-up will make this an easy install.
Until next time,
Tom
