I have not put any pictures up recently. The layout is starting to look pretty respectable.
I started with the RR track plan below (24' x 15') back in Dec '10 and completed most of the bench work with tracks and switches wired (DCS and TMCC) by the end of Feb '11 ( also completed most of the scenery on the mountain).
The summer of '11 came with nothing else started until Dec'11, when I installed my trestle. Since then, I have put the remainder of my river in, created more pink snow around the entire house (from pink foam shaping), put down most of the ballast with a dirty wash, along with a skirt attached.
I think I have a little over 80% of my scenery roughed.
I used Patrick H's method of carving the foam and Dennis B. fake water approach (painted shower door glass) on the large part of the river.
Shown below are many of the various stages in the layouts construction to present day.
