I've been busy on the layout for the past week or so.

I started by making and adding railings to a "floating" piece of track between a small mountain and the viaduct:

This made an earlier railed section of track look shabby - so I redid it:

If you like the way these railed sections look, I updated my early (8/13/21) Blog post on www.Warrenvillerailroad.com to include a "How To" with several follow along pics. This post is entitled "Avoiding the Floating Track Look" - check it out.

After seeing how these two sections turned out, I no longer liked the way a railed section of elevated track in front of Cape Warrenaveral and Main Street looked, so I removed it to re-do it.  BUT, when I took it down I liked the unobstructed look without this section of track so I decided not to put it back at all. This resulted in track and trestle work. Here is a pic of an added Arch Under bridge needed to support some of the new track work.

It also resulted in me completely re-doing Main Street as it looked shabby too. Here is the new wide open view:

I neglected to note above that one of the above upgrades required a 3 x 11 triangular layout expansion! Here is a pic:

OK, to clarify (LOL), I meant 3 inch by 11 inch triangular shaped expansion. Needed for the foot of the Arch Under bridge added
