Good morning Fellas!! I am on my way out to a cool indoor tag sale with toys hopefully trains. Anyway As you guys know I have cut and spread my layout open exactly 33" wider. I spent a couple of hours last night reconstructing that area and I have before and after pictures. I love the cork roadbed I am using, runs so much quieter and smoother. Here are the pics Let me know what you think. Just before I separated it all. Click onto to the pictures to see them at regular size. [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aof.jpg [/img] I added this section with the roadbed notice in the mirror but no track yet [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aoi.jpg [/img] Ok so I added the track now and trains run perfect. Also notice that I used chicken wire for the river to be area. Then I covered it with plaster cloth. Two Sd90MAcs running through nicely [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aok.jpg [/img] A closer image of this area. If you want details on how I did the blocks underneath and everything let me know. [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aol.jpg [/img] This is the final work achieved last night. The big changes here is that you notice the blue color sky painted below that new section. Well The cool idea I have is my Programming track will go back to this same area but I will Scenic it up to look realistic too. The program track was always located down that area but hard to see what you were doing and all, but not now. I will also ballastthe track too. Well how am I doing so far. You can notice the big changes with the gap between the two backdrops from the first picture to this last one [img] http://www.railimages.com/albums/AlfredMayo/aom.jpg [/img]
