Well I have been doing lots of scenery for the past few months on and off but have come to areas that I can’t proceed until more track work is in place. I am still working on 2 building projects at this time. One to complete Gainesville and a 3 building lumber mill. I had to move a short section of track to better fit in a nice tressel bridge that will be aprox. 2 feet long in total length and will span the valley of two mountains that surround my main town. The tressel itself is in progress as well.

So I have started to work my way up the branch line which includes 3 small towns. 2 of which will have run around sidings and industries to allow some interesting operating movements. Here you can see the progress of the spline work and riser assembly as well as the installation of the homasote roadbed. I spend a few hours cutting and taping all the ties in 19inch strips which go down a lot faster and cleaner. Once all the homasote is installed I will draw on my center lines with my radius templates and a straight rule. I use the templates to ensure that all the curves are smooth and accurate. I also transition the curves into the straight sections for a smoother and more realistic look. I hope to be laying some track before the end of the week of which I will update.
