UPDATE: July 31, 2002
Premise:
The construction crew has been working hard on scenery and right of way.
Conclusion:
Scenery is VERY hard work for me!
It just doesn't come easy.
It must be that I'm
more of a mechanic than artist.
Here are some photos of the only hill on the layout. The hill is
removable.
Sac Valley engine #30 is a Mantua articulated approximately 30 years old
with
a modified driveline and can motor with flywheel.
A Soundtraxx decoder
makes it sound like the real thing.

The camera person in some fashion was able to get out into the gorge over the river to get this shot of the morning mail/passenger train. |
|
Looking at the bend from a different
view, you can see the edge of the layout fascia. |

Our camera man moves further across the
riverbed closer to the train for this view. |
