The current state of scenery

Someone asked for some pictures showing the current state of the layout, so here goes.  After taking a few snaps of the layout I'm noticing that I keep way too much random stuff stored under the layout.


The north-east end of Roanoke, IL where trains come out of staging

Pekin East Yard looking north-east.  Left side is ATSF, right side is P&E.  The P&E heads into staging along the backdrop curve.






Pekin looking south-west.  P&E on the left, ATSF on the right.  The ATSF ends here at Big Four Jct.  Heading right along the curve takes you to the P&PU.



P&PU A-yard in East Peoria, IL.  Corn Products in South Pekin in the background.  P&E #12 heading to Indianapolis on the P&PU main.

Some progress on scenery work

I'm finally making some progress on scenery and structures.  For the last few weeks I've been building structures in Washington, IL, and finishing the scenery there.  Next up will be Roanoke, IL.
