Rj Shier-Thanks man and thanks for the sub!

Bill-Yes that road is in the other room. I actually need to add a grade crossing at the top of that road as well. Right now it dead ends and drivers run into the               abyss. Yes, vertical scenery is another added dimension and because of the smaller size of that room I had to add that element. You're in a good place to             adjustments.

Amazing the level of detail some folks add to their layouts. I really appreciate the thought and patience that goes into making a complete scene. With the small details, likely complete will never come...and that's the fun of it.  Love the tenement row idea as that isn't something you see on every layout.

Good Morning Everyone,

Here's my first iteration of installing "wires" on the layout. Photos and my latest video are provided below. I wanted to create some forced perspective, as most of us have seen with the prototype, with these high tension towers. I used Walthers HO scale transmission towers and MTH O scale high tension towers. While at it, I decided to unbox my Woodland Scenics substation and incorporate that into the project. Believe it or not I didn't decide to use the substation here until I had already begun installing the towers and then the lightbulb went off.

My advice:

Once you have done this type of work it's very difficult to work around it so make sure you don't have any major work to do around it or you're asking for trouble.

Thanks for stopping by,

Dave
