You ask for it.
here is the start four years ago. A  4' X 12' start  The after is 5' X 30' .
I'm still waiting to get up the energy to do all the trees and detail work. The town is supposed to go on the left end. It's not fancy but I can run some trains for the grand kids. It is a free lance some place in the Rockies. Whistling

Have fun.

By the way, I am in awe of the work you all do.    Bow
