FINALLY got back to working on the layout

Today, after about a year of doing nothing, I finally got back to building my 4’x7’ layout![:D] There isn’t really anything to see yet, but so far I’ve finished gluing the cork roadbed down.[:D] Next will be some cleaning (that cork makes a mess!), and then I’ll put buildings, roads, sidewalks, and trees on, then the foam grass, and after that the bushes and ballast, and then some final detailing.[:D]

Here’s the basic idea of what my plan for the layout is:

Just a quick image I made in Paint. The lines are track, the squares are buildings, the fuzzy spots are trees, and then there’s roads and sidewalks. I got bored drawing the ballast, so it ended up not getting finished.

Great news! I am about as far as you are on my new 4x8 addition to my BMRR, an expansion project that will make bald mt. 19’ by 4’ with a 4’ leg. I have gottem about half of my roadbed done, and about a half of that half that is done is painted and ready for ballast, which I need to get more of both (roadbed and ballast). Pretty exciting stuff though. Good luck!
