The Union Pacific Elmwood Route

Here's a rough look at how the track plan looks in real life. I printed out the plan at 1:1 scale from RailModeller, trimmed the sheets and placed it all on the benchwork. I'll go back and trim up a few sheets I missed, and then tape it all together for a better fit. But it really does give you a nice, real look at how the layout will look on the bench.



When the cleaned up plan is in place I'll use that to mark the location of the backdrop and track. I'll also use it to place structures on to see if they can fit and how'd they look. It's almost like bringing the track planning from software to real world at this point.
