Sac Valley November 2002

I thought it might be of interest to some to see how some of these ideas have turned out. The views below are as the layout has been since September. Since then I've been very busy doing model railroad things in the local community and haven't been able to work much on the layout itself.

One day though...

I would point out that the lighting valence is cardboard.  That's how I determine what I need to put up permanently. I'm a little disappointed at the lights I put up - (rope lights.)  They still don't get rid of the shadows under the shelf. Possibly that is something I'll have to live with. But the DO make for neat mood shots. Win some - lose some.

The views below are some daytime/nighttime views to possibly give an idea of the moodiness of the lights.
