I've finished laying track, and mocked up the scene with some of the buildings I'll use, as well as placing a bunch of toy autos to show where the road in West Canaan will be. Emphasis on the TOY part, I don't have enough scale autos to put enough on the road and make it easy to see the path.Anyway, here are the photos with captions:Overall view. The full train (with power on the left end) is on the track that will lead to the staging yard once I get around to building the lift bridge. The pulpwood gon and loaded centerbeam car are at Delery Pulpwood & Lumber Co., and that track curving around the front and heading through the backdrop on the right is the continuous running connection.

There are two lines crossing the continuous running connection at diamonds. They will go onto the bridge, and curve towards the camera, meeting at a switch and heading towards the camera into the staging yard along the wall.[IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/P1040329.jpg[/IMG]Delery Pulpwood & Lumber Co. Ignore the ripped-up track.[IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/P1040330.jpg[/IMG]There's the road, crossing the industry tracks and continuous run connection at an unsignaled crossing (just crossbucks, flagged by the brakeman) and a tiny little scrap transload center. I have just enough room for the fences, loading truck, and pile of scrap metal, which is trucked in.  [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/P1040331.jpg[/IMG]Another overall view. That's Ogden Siding in the foreground, which got a lot shorter (it used to extend all the way to the switch for Delery and the scrap transloading center!) and can now hold 8 cars and two locos...[IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/P1040332-1.jpg[/IMG]As usual, questions and comments are welcome...
