looking good!  Really like the way the bridge approach on the far end is through a cut - a nice realistic touch!

@Ed Kapuscinski , Need a view block for under the bridge on the lower left where the river stops at the photo backdrop.  Otherwise an excellent composition with a seemingly vast expanse.

looks like I missed out not being able to come over.  Well played sir.

I wish the timing would've worked out better, but there just wasn't enough time between Timonium and the ops session.

Next time, I promise.

Thanks!
Achieving realistic landforms was really important to me.

Truth. I'm gonna add some underbrush and trees behind the bridge, but I don't know what to do about the river, other than "squint".

That's looking really good Ed!! The layout is really coming to life!

What about an uprooted fallen pine or tree that nearly spans across the river?  Then you could have stuff collected in the tree from the current.

It'd have to be a big tree!

Love the Preston 151 Line trailer. Tractors were orange though. Lends local authenticity though.

As a Preston alum, appreciate the thought.

That driver is in trouble though. That road dead ends in about a quarter mile...

Another one from while I was downstairs throwing some laundry in.

Ed, is it me, or are those engines leaning the wrong way?
Nice backdrops though....
