So here is an update of some action taken. Yesterday, I drove to the Harrisburg area to pickup the backdrops that George (G3750) had professionally painted for his PRR Panhandle Division layout. I had been following George's layout build, since the Panhandle Division is in the same area I live, crossing the Ohio River at Weirton, West Virginia about an hour and a half drive from here. I had noted that George announced he was going to move to a new home and posted a new plan for that home. Then George posted that he was going to sell his backdrop sections instead of trying to get movers to move them. I think they will work well in providing a backdrop for areas on the layout where I want a view into the distance. I am also thinking I will have some areas where the sceniced mountain will go up to the sky.
So here they are in my train room, in no particular order from right to left.
