Description

Here is what Martin says about his layout:

"After a great deal of planning which [OGR forum] really helped with, I have the base layout done with elevations and such. Thrilled to be running trains on a large layout.

I have ALL the details to do. Ground cover, painting the blocks on the arches, Trees, rock facings, and side rails, and the skirts around the bottom. Not to mention the custom backdrop pictures I plan to add on the wall. All that is fun though!!!
"
