Wow that's really coming along!
I love long single track lines, very nice.
For rolls of plaster cloth check out a medical supply house, much cheaper than the LHS.
 


I was down in Toronto and found some plaster cloth at a curry's store for a real good price and also visited a second currys at another store and found some great half price plaster cloth so I now have lots.

Working on making some abutments for the bridges.

Found some time to get the two bridges installed, took a bit to get the track to flow nicely. I decided to go with mounting the bridges off the roadbed and go the cosmetic route with abutments.

Thanks Chris.
I got another bridge setup and now need to build two bridges for the lower tracks. Itching to run a train again.

I got a jig made up for the two bridges I need. The bridges will be 17 inches end to end and sides with be 2 inches high.

I managed to get two bridges built and installed. Cleanup time and back to finishing wiring a couple more tortoise switches and onto track cleaning.

I also had to cookie cut a new incline to the dioramma base as the turnout just wasn't lining up nicely. As well the tunnel portals are in much better positioning.

Puttering along like a slow chicken with his head cut off I managed to get the jmri talking to the digitrax command station, finished off some feeder drops to the buss, and did some cleanup programming in the ds64's. jmri doesnt lie with what is not right so got some board addresses worked out. As well I finally got the ds64 board mounted off the benchwork out of the way, just have to shorten and reattach the wires to each ds64.
