Scenic upgrade on Sweethome Chicago

[Jon Grant 4472]

I added a new board last week specially for the exhibition at the weekend, and moved the water tank.

It is only three inches wide but is 6 feet long and totally changes the feel of the right hand end.

Originally there was a retaining wall along the front of this section to prevent stock accidentally falling off the layout, because the tracks were so close to the baseboard edge.

I decided to open the area out but this meant adding some protection against accidents, hence the 3 inch wide board.

It also restricted the camera angles when photographing the area
