Now that the lower level track work and major wiring is in place and the electrical stuff and spacings have been tested, work can begin on the rear plateau. The rear plateau will be 4' x 10' and indented from the back wall by 1' (to allow for me to get behind it in the event of a derailment).

This gives you a visual of what supports the Homasote. the bottom of the horizontal wood structure is 6 1/2" above lower level.
trackwork on the rear plateau is complete. the extended tracks on the far left (hard to see here) and the one on the right will connect to the front plateau which will be built later.
This one clearly shows the left track extension. It will lead to an MTH arch bridge and on to the front plateau from there.
This, as hard as it is to notice height differences, shows the area behind the rear plateau where I can walk if need be.
Determining what size curves I need to connect this side of the rear plateau to the front one (obviously that little wood structure won't be the size of the front plateau.
