When I first built my last layout I was happy with the results but I realized it could be a work in progress. After the layout was running well, I knew it was time for more detail. First my high trestle and canyon needed a lot of help. My second project was going to be much more small detail to my town. Here is what I did the the canyon area. I added a tunnel and re-covered all the mountains with rock molds. Also a few trees were added. Have you guys and gals ever redone large or small areas of your layouts? Don

Don, that is so cool. Did you rework the catenary or did some rust colored paint just make it look different?
I'm still working on DO. There's no time for REDO.
What Elliot said.
Joe, rust and weathering. That's all. Don
Why of course. Never time to do it right...Always time to do it twice. Nick
Back in the day, my wife and brother had a standing joke about the number of times my layout changed.....LOL
I don't think a layout is ever really done... always something you wanna do to it, or add on to it..
I haven't done anything extreme... but after putting up my shelf layout in house, got a request from the wife to keep it running in one room at night. The sounds from the trucks and lighted cars put her to sleep... So, couple of Ross switches from ebay, more gargraves track, removal and new woodwork, runs the bdrm at night.
Daughter (7) and I built an N scale layout. She got into the scenery part of it.
Didn't want the shelf layout in her room. But after some led lighting, and light up scenery, I've been asked to extend it.... here we go again...
I really like that bridge of yours
Master bdrm now has a closed loop with O-72 for night time runs... Rest of house is O-54... planned so I can run a Premier steamer and 70' cars.
Bottom pic is LED lighting. Just swapped out with what I had... as these are wifi controlled.

Gorgeous, realistic scene. Congratulations.
Over the years, many changes to many areas.
Here is one of those bits of real-estate that changed...
We have liked both interpretations, but we like it best as it is now, with the parsonage and church campus.
