Excellent! Those old catenary girders truly set the mood in Montreal! I'll say it again, but I like how your layout feels like the real thing!
The weathering job on the bridge is quite good! I think is was light green before, isn't it?

Hi Wayne. Thank you! That is very kind. When I watch the older video it scary. It also shows me that I am, somewhat, on the right track with scenery anyway. Thanks again

Hello Matt. Thanks! The catenaries have been "almost finished" since, when? summer? Boy do I need to get my behind in gear! Yes it was green before, but it did not "look" or "feel" right. Another things I need to adjust. I haven't post in a while, however I do drop by from time to time. You have progress on your layout by leaps and bound! Bravo!

The best I could come up with is a rough, not to scale, drawing of the layout set-up:
That is it for now
What are the dimensions of the room?

Hello MountainMan. The room is approximately 13 feet X 25 feet. The layout is around the walls (as you can see in this older drawing) with a width ranging from 21 inches to 16 inches. The Center peninsula is 22-24 inches.. The aisle are roughly 33 inches or so. The drawing is not showing the layout extension (in the early planning stages) to the left by the swing gate/bridge.

Time for a new chapter for the begining of this new year
Picking up the story were we left off: Joe and Zette had found the overpass and it gave them a choice: Take the left exit? or go straight?
Meanwhile at "Recyclable" things were quiet since Charle and Oscar left in a hurry (again!)
Even the dog, across the river, was quiet..
