Living the dream.
Here it is April First, but I am not really in the mood for an April Fools Joke right now.
Instead, here is something not normally shared, the inside of a model mountain:

OK, show me the "business part" of a layout. The wiring, benchwork, underside of scenery, etc.

One of my favorite parts of layout building is landscape forming with cardboard webbing.
Show me more of what makes the layout work.

A couple photos showing various stages of completion along one wall of my shortline railroad.
First, going from completed scene to the right to bare resin paper on the left.
I'm using a variation of a technique described by Howard Zane a number or years ago. I shape my mountains using basket weaved cardboard strips, then cover it with red resin paper. Rather than coat the red resin paper with white glue, I mix a slow setting joint compound that gives me plenty of working time. I sprinkle on some ground cover while it is still wet. Eventually puff ball trees will cover the hillside with Super Trees in the front.
The next photo shows a section where benchwork and track have yet to be laid.
I'm building a switchback to a saw mill at the top of the grade. Two legs still need completion before the scenery can be filled in.
More pictures of the "bones" of the layout please.

Where the RH and TT go. I wanted to be able to remove it to work on it and be able to take it out in one piece if we move.
More creation shots, please.

Here is the roadbed being installed on the sub-roadbed:
Show me a piece of railroad equipment that is gray and at least one additional colour.

Nothing says Red, White, and Blue better than a Bangor and Aroostook State of Maine boxcar here on the interchange track with the Lehigh and Hudson River RR.
I started the tri-colored theme and so I'm going to end it.
How about a branchline or shortline passenger or mixed train.
John-NYBWHow about a branchline or shortline passenger or mixed train.
My New York central gas-electric is in branchline duty:

Any kind of branch or short line train, please.
John-NYBWAny kind of branch or short line train, please.
To be completely honest, I am not exactly sure what is meant by "branch line" or "short line", but here is a short train:
More branch line and short lines please.
Kevin- More branch lines and short lines.
The Leeds, Scarcroft and Wetherby line was a branch line. Should have been a through line bur The Great War intervened in the building.

I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
NorthBritMore branch or short lines please.
This might be a stretch, but I am going to assume the MOONLIGHT EXPRESS is a shortline.
The above scene is on the First Coast Model Railroader's modular On30 layout.
