Wow Brian, that cut timber and tree stumps look really authentic. Can't wait to see the finished product! 
Brian,
That looks like an excellent start! I agree, great stumps!
Looks Great Brian! you guys are making me think about doing one! But we will see! It would be hard to be at your level!
I barely have time to work on the layout lately. Now I have to build a diorama too???? 
Mark D and Mark B- nice work. You too Brian. I smell a "What did you do on your Diorama" thread starting soon.

Bob, I don't have time to start on my layout, so I am slowly building a module. I think a "Diorama" topic is a good idea. If you want, join in!
Well, it has been exactly a month since I last wrote. Actually, I thought it was longer. (How often does that happen? Usually it was longer than I thought.) 
I have a little bit of an update on my module. I glued down the riser for the track and the cork roadbed. I sanded the cork smooth, but the track is just sitting there for now. I plan to spray paint it with Testors CreateFX Gravel Gray. I want to see how that looks for a temporary ballast, as I am thinking of doing that on the impending layout. It takes me so long to get ballast down, I think this will be a good temporary stand in. I also bought the Pennsylvania style tunnel portal and wings last week. I just have them leaning in position to get an idea how I want to build up my mountain. I bought them at Hobby Express in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, and thought the manufacturer's name was on the wrapper. I'm thinking Woodland Scenics, but don't know for sure. When I got home, I saw there was only a price tag on the shrink wrap, so I am not sure who made them. They are a slightly flexible foam. So, with my Legacy F7 set and an Atlas 2-bay hopper, you get an idea of how I envision this for photo shooting.
