"progress", is that a euphemism for "How much have you spent?"

Ode to you, MLW
I wanted to say thanks to you for the tip on the realistic roadway you provided. I spent sometime over my holiday break finishing up a corner of the layout, which included a roadway. I just finished up most of the scene today and wanted to post some pics... Thanks again for sharing your roadway technique - it helped a lot - bill...

The building isn't set yet, but I couldn't resist checking the fit and finish...

I'll have to do something about the green walls and mirrors, lol...

Yes works nicely doesn't? I used scenicking backdrop "Roll Out".
Saves me lot of grief (painting, taking pictures, printing etc.)

Plus they work quite well for what I do.
Keep us posted on your progress.

All of the above would work fine.
For now I used "thumb tacks" in the corner, directly into the wall.
I could use double-sided tape as well.
It's working fine for now.
A more permanent manner might be to glue it on cardboard/masonite/posterboard and then mount the backdrop to the wall (using tape, pins etc.)

I started to put together the Ste-Rosalie Grain Elevator.
It is kitbash from a common kit, and cut to fit. Of course details need to be added, then painting the structures, weathering it and applying the appropriate decals/namesake for the prototype situated at that particular location.
The structures fits nicely in the space left for it. Now I can combined the FALLER silo/elevator together as intended.

Quick test with a local train
Pretty soon I will be able to re-install this module to the layout. Then all out scenery can start, roads, structures, guardrails, bushes, backdrop, etc. etc.
All the feeder wires are in place and ready to be hook up to the layout power bus. Then I can run trains [on the main and switching the yet to be built local industry]

updates
I have reconnected the Bois D'Arcy module to the layout and hooked up the power bus etc. Put the backdrop in place and begin to run some trains.
Scenery, buildings, trees, telephone poles, grass etc. a bit later.
Some quick pics:
MLW RSD15 entering Bois D'Arcy (BDA in my layout RR abbreviation parlance) for spotting a car at the local manufacturing plant.
