Ralph's 2013 Duff Challenge(s)

[Ralph]

I've made some progress on this next part of the Duff challenge..and it is a challenge! I've needed to remove an access hatch and some model structures, and crawl under the layout to reach the up-until-now hidden unfinished parts that the loco camera is shamelessly showing on the TV screen. :oops: It's tedious and not particularly fun...but the results are worth it.

Since it's hard to reach these areas, the pics below are of the loco cam images on the TV screen. Photographing a televison doesn't yield sharp pictures but they do convey the idea. I've pretty much finished the raw looking area behind my steel mill complex. You may recall from previous photos that these structures didn't even have back walls! Here is how things look now from the engineer's eye view....

And as seen by a "Southbound"


Just a reminder of how bad it used to look!


Next I'll move a little farther down the line (as Johnny Cash would say) and deal wih the incomplete looking trees that are just green clumps stuck on background buildings.....
