Mark, your Christmas layout is shaping up nicely! Reminds me though I need to get off my tail and get mine ready soon too, I'll put up a small G scale oval around the Christmas Tree for my Bachmann Christmas Trolley.

Mark, way to go! You will have it done in no time and running trains!

I finished attaching all the piers to my 4x7 Christmas layout today. Then I screwed down the track and Masonite to the piers at either side of the Polar Express girder bridge. Finally, I ran wires through a hole I put behind a pier and powered up what is in place. I won't attach anything more on the top level until I get the real Masonite and track fit in place.
Very cool Mark! Reminds me of what Stonehenge would look like with a train on top. I like it. Do you have a bridge that you could put in the back? Good work.
John, Thank you very much! I wouldn't be this far along, but my semi-retired part-time status changed to semi-retired 'we don't need you for a while' status. So, on days the weather was too bad to rake/blow leaves and I didn't have to help the elderly relatives I was able to get some work in on this. Last year, I never got much done, but I had never gotten around to taking the Christmas layout down, so it didn't matter. 
Thank you Mike! Yes, I am pleased. Last night when I couldn't sleep because of the sciatic nerve, I dug out some more Masonite, fitted it, and marked it for sawing for the back half. 
Thank you, Matt! Stonehenge! Yes indeed! I have a through truss bridge that would work, but I was thinking of making a mountain to hide the train. Maybe an opening somewhere for the bridge to add some visual interest. Hmmm.... Good idea. I will have to mull it over, but I have to get as many of my wife's ceramic buildings and figures on there as I possible can.
