You guys are doing good work and inspiring me to work on my layout to/do list. I was going to run an operating session today, but I decided last night it was time to tackle scenic work on an unfinished part of the layout. Today I installed an additional support post so I could cut out an 18 inch piece of 1 X 3 that was a non bearing and unnecessary cross support. It has been on my list for a long time and gives me more room to work in this popup area. I cut to size pieces of left over quarter inch foam as templates for one inch foam pieces to make four scenic inserts that I can pop up to work on hard to get places. Years ago I experimented with a mockup scene for the area but it was out of character for the area. I will need more pine/spruce trees that I enjoy making.
