Thanks Mark! This is yesterday's post. I'll post again tonight with today's work.

I only had an hour, but you can get stuff done in an hour. First thing was to add another layer to the terrain work. I vacuumed all the loose earth particles. I then liberally sprinkled the mixed turf over this, sprayed it with "wet water" and then dribbled scenic cement to fully saturate all the cover. I let this dry until today. I also added bad ground cover to the front flat edges of the layout in these areas since the original 7 year-old ground cover has been wearing off.  Today I will be adding the small bushes, tall grasses and other foliage to liven it all up.

Then I have to glue back the parts of the fence that fell apart. Funny thing… when using the super-powered shop vac to remove the excess earth particles, I sucked one of the fence sections into the machine. Luckily, it was in the tank unbroken, but a bit dusty. Regardless, I had a couple more sections on the fret that I could have pressed into service if this piece got wrecked. Shop vacs can be dangerous beasts around model railroads.

I got the other track on the tank, put back one piece of PE and lost the two that protect the tail lights. As the fellow that gave me the model said, "This display could have lost parts over the years." I put some clear gloss where the decals are going and will apply them today.

Here's the terrain work that happened yesterday.
