Hi Guys - I just completed my Coaldale Train Station and now working on building a mountain/tunnel using the cardboard weave method. Weaving strips of cardboard is tedious but it does offer a strong support for the plaster cloth that I will apply later. I'll cover the plaster cloth with sculptomold as a final layer. Tunnel is a little over 8 ft. long - I have 2 flat surfaces on the mountain that will anchor a light or water tower. Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed!

Wow this is stunning! My father grew up in Tamaqua. I will have to share this with him.

Don't forget the bus shelter! I believe one side says "A CAR MORE A DAY MEANS EXTRA PAY." The other says, "EVERYBODY'S GOAL IS MINE MORE COAL." If I recall correctly... Again, love the local layout!
The layout looks great so far Paul. The mountain is really going to be a nice addition when it's done.
