New section of 'Westdorf' Scenery

[B.Meldon]

I have been doing a bit of scenery on 'Westdorf'. This section is the approach to the top station on the narrow gauge. This layout is a permanent installation and this area it is very awkward to get to as it is right up against the insulation boards for the loft roof and about 2 foot away from the front of the layout, so I have to lean over to get to it. The entire top station hinges up to access the point motors, uncouplers for maintenance and to access the six standard gauge lines below when needed. The join is effectively hidden by the fence in this photo. (The rest of the join is hidden by the platform wall that can just be seen in the left of the shot and by a removable station building.) I will do more in this area in the next few days. With this section the scenery is about 3/4 done on the layout, although some sections are not fully detailed yet.  I have about 11 square feet of layout area yet to do the scenic work on, about five feet of this is in this awkward location along this back edge of the layout. The rest is on removable sections, so will be a lot easier.
