Thank you Bob. I appreciate your thoughts and comments. This will be my second layout using foam and I have to say that I'm still way low on the learning curve. I was not, however, happy with my rock tunnel portal or the pile of rocks on top of the hill and I've since torn them out and replaced them with Hydrocal castings.
To be honest with you, I don't recall where I got those pictures but one of my subscriptions is to RMC so that's a good bet that that's where they came from. As I was looking at those pictures, I really liked the way the town looked and decided I wanted to mimic that with my own version.
Lately, I finally decided on the type of industry to put at the end of the yard. I went with the Walthers Cornerstone North Island refinery and that's what I've been building for several days now. I also bought another similar kit that has all the instructions in Japanese or Chinese charachters (I'm not sure which)
hock: , which hopefully I can add to the refinery and they can complement each other.
Time for another photo update pretty soon I guess as I've made some progress to show. Soon.....
