I ended up getting lots of work done in the vicinity of the lift out section. Forgot to post that last week got all the sections wired and had to add a couple insulated joiners and feeders cause my Peco turnouts have live frogs that required a little extra care.
First I put the screen down, have to get the slide out in place and see how things are going to match up
I use the hot glue to get the screen in place, you can see the track bed is raised
I did all along the sides of the feed mill as well
I used a sheet of the Woodland Scenics fake ground cover for the slide out section, also decided to use it up on the hard to reach outer edge of the layout:
The areas not covered with the grass mat will be treated with hydrocal and ground foam and dry sand etc
Will be getting some more hydrocal down, painting, then adding materials to several sections where no buildings are planned. Kind of doing a hop scotch method to get this done.
THANKS for looking!! Dave LASM
