Art,
Nice work on that quarry. Impressive size, too, a lot like the real thing and hard to always capture in the model.

Whoa! Has anyone gotten vertigo standing to close to that!? Nice, unusual scene.
Art:
Neat scenery!
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
A new club opened by my house and I was running out of room in my train room so I joined. They were just starting the scenery stage. One of the planned scenes was an old quarry in Waite Park Mn that started as a granite quarry and when the good rock ran out turned into a gravel pit that still provides crushed rock for ballast. Here are three pics of what I built out of two inch foam. You can see the original quarry and then the loading area for the crusher. There is also an old granite pit that I modeled, though it is now full of water. It was a fun project.
