Bear,
Thanks for the thread starter and nice pic.
Made considerable progress on the Cascade Branch this week. Here’s a link to the Cascade Branch thread:http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/219241.aspx
Here are some pics once I cleared out the ankle-deep styrofoam bits. I’ll have more extensive coverage including some how-tos on building pop-ups in my Cascade Branch thread once I get a chance later to get it posted. There is something like 7, 8, or 9 pop-ups or removable scenery sections – I kinda lost count.[:$]
I wanted tall mountains that dwarf the equipment. I think that came out about right in the next two views of Purgatory.
This view of Purgatory also shows where the track continues on the right, which will be the location of a siding to serve Camp 10.
An overview of most of the new branch. The rising track on the far right is where the branch continues near the ceiling.
Here’s a shot of the canyon the logging branch climbs through to get to the timber after leaving Potato Hill.
