 Backdrop uprights in place on the Elkins end  Another shot of supports  A sea of supports! Looking toward Thomas and Bayard  Moved computer to a shelf I build underneath the Elkins engine terminal  Now you see it, now you don't - folded underneath the layout for storage  Power pole - since the layout is an island-style, the 110V connection is dropped from above through the backdrop  Blue J-channel used to support the top edge of the backdrop  Backdrop material is 24" x 50' pre-primed aluminum trim coil  J-channel applied to top of supports  Another view of the J-channel  Overhead view of backdrop supports  Other end of the layout is partially complete    Completed hanging 210 feet of trim coil in 3 hours!  Looking across from Parsons to Thomas   Hendrix is on the left, Thomas on the right  Beryl is in the foreground, Luke is in the distance  Westernport in the foreground, Luke is in the curver  Westernport is in the distance, Lonaconing will be on top of the helix someday  Elkins engine terminal is in the foreground, Elkins yard is the long Homasote expanse to the rear  Dave's doing a great job with the backdrop joints!  It's painted! Notice the subtle white from about midway down to the horizon.  Another view of the painted backdrop  Looking at Parsons on the right and Thomas on the left. Blackwater Canyon is all the way down at the end of the aisle Last Updated on 29 Jul 2011 [Back] [Home] |
