World Class work Pete!
Spectacular work, as always, gentlemen!

I made a few elevated sections for some visual interest, and because the area on Long Island that I’m modeling is known for hills and small grades, but not mountains. I also painted and installed the retaining wall from the upper industrial area down to the lower street.

These photos show the front corner of my 12'-by-8' layout built between 1999 and 2004. Still running.

Nice job everyone! I didn't get my Union RR caboose finished this week but I did make some progress. I'm waiting on brake wheels, end platform safety chain, and decals to finish the job.
I had to fill in all the windows and create new ones to match the prototype. They're not perfect by I'm okay with them. All the rivets had to be sanded off and in the process most of the cast-on nbw details were lost, so those were replaced with new ones from Grandt Line. A track for a sunshade was scratch built on each bay as well as tracks for the screens of whatever it was that slid in them. I also had to change the caboose sill, extend the roof and scratch build new end railings.
Here are a few pics showing the alterations I made to the caboose body and after a coat of primer. Now comes the really boring part of filling and wet sanding all the spots I thought were smooth. Good thing I don't work in a body shop!

Just added some ground cover in the area in front of the recently installed retaining wall, and in the area behind the grade.
