Gun Creek Branch of the Gorre & Daphetid

This is the clay after drying a couple of days and getting a quick coat of paint. It could serve well for some soft rolling terrain with just ground cover or you will need to make holes beforehand for trees.

And the view of the East end tunnels

Decided to try placing the buildings at an angle for visual interest.

Reggie's waiting on me to find a place for him.

And more air dry clay, this was put down with future foliage in mind, so I do learn from mistakes.

And the Woodland Scenics Station will be able to be lit as it is on the fixed side of the layout. Still trying to figure out how to run wire to the lift out section. Also, while tormenting my brain on building placement in town, decided that instead of two spurs in the NW Corner, one will be a mainline off the layout. That is the section with the WS riser under it.

And working on building placement while waiting for the cobblestone road material to arrive. You guys are lucky, this has been dragging on for three years on the other forum.

Okay got the solid resin buildings and the cobblestone roads glued down on the liftout. Oops, the two center buildings have been relocated to a TTrak Module.

Okay, this is roughly how it is going to be. I wanted lighter buildings in the center of the liftout.

On a side note, I am working on a couple of TTrak modules and tried an experiment as they obviously get moved around a lot. Instead of using traditional ballast/glue on the gray Unitrack on the modules, I tried gray latex bathroom caulk along the edges of the track. I worked well just smoothing it with my fingers. I have to pick up some gray ballast to finish it off. [I KNOW I have some somewhere, but...].

Okay, built this WS building last night and gave it it's base color, It will sit in the Center Section of the Fox Mesa Extension on the Upper Level of the layout. Lighter buildings in the Center to help the liftout not sag in the future.

I like your version of the track plan, I always thought it could use a runaround on the branch line.
