A year later.....

I have worked on the railroad here and there, but in the past month or so, I've finally taken the scenery plunge. I'm working on the Kemper Street Station area. Here's a shot of the real thing.
and below a shot of what I've done so far from close to the same angle.
As you can see I've ballasted the track, and cut the foam to approximate the area in the real picture. I had started the foam several weeks ago, but got tired of cutting and using sand paper. My foam cutter I've owned for 5 years, but never used , had no wire in the package. Fortunately I went to Colorado last week and Nate had picked me up some at Caboose.
As I make progress, I'll try to add more pictures in the coming weeks. I'll warn you I'm sloooowwww.
