While I was nursing the old heater along I found myself with some time to do a few upgrades.

First I added some trees.

I started to do some ballasting at the switch for the coal dealer.

While that was drying I carved and added some spackle to area behinds the bridge wing walls.

I added ground cover from the bridges to the Golden Valley Cannery.

Lookin' good, Tom! A couple of days and some effort changes the whole vibe of that area and I'm sure you're feeling a sense of accomplishment. Inspiration + Perspiration = Satisfaction.
