<p>[quote user="jwhitten"]</p> <p> </p> <blockquote> <div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p> </p> </div> </blockquote> <p> </p> <p>Tyler, nice work! Can you explain more about what you're doing with the backdrop?? Are you planning to make it removable in segments? Staging behind it perhaps? I've been giving some thought to doing something like that, at least in places maybe, and was wondering if anybody else has tried it, and if so, how it looks when completed?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Thanks! The reason the backdrops looks a bit odd (not joined together and with mismatching paint) is because they were savaged from my previous layout. I haven't yet joined them together at the seams yet. The new layout will be a one-horse branchline with the only staging being the visible Pan Am interchange track at Clinton. See the link in my signature - there's a trackplan posted somewhere.</p> <p>This new layout will be moveable, so I can just cut through whatever will join the backdrops together, remove any buildings going across the seams of the 2'x4' mini-dominoes, cut the rails at the seams with a Dremel, then remove a couple screws and lift the entire mini-domino off the frame. The benchwork underneath is just a basic frame with nothing fancy.</p>
