UP SD40-2's NEW Layout

[UP SD40-2]

Thanks guys!

UPDATE:
I got all the backdrops painted and up, I still need to fill and paint the screw heads and joining seams on them though .

I started my mountain two nights ago, had to fix the curve coming out of the tunnel first though, the track seemed to kink a bit somehow on the curve, have no idea how or why :? It wasn't real bad at all, but I felt if I left it sure as heck I would have problems down the line and would hate to tear the mountain up, so fixing it now was a must. After that was squared away I cleaned the track well, covered it with 2'' masking tape and made my "derailing walls", I have been through this enough to know sure as heck cars will sometimes derail in tunnels, and if the space inside is to big you have a heck of a time trying to fish the cars and engine out, the "derailing walls" make things so much easier when things go awry .

I didn't get far as you can see from the pics, but I did get a start. Notice the flat top of the mountain, hmm, could it be a curve on the highway? , a park or campground? or perhaps a place to pull over and sight see, one could only guess at this point .



(At least I found a good use for the odd ball small pieces of wood I had left over from building the layout framework)

NOT MY PIC, but this pic was very inspirational for my mountain/river area...


Well, I really wont have a river, more like a small creek, but like this pic, it will be close to the tunnel

Till next time, stay on track folks
