More plaster and some rail

I was reminded that it's been over a month since my last update so here goes.....

This is a view of the yard at Artesia looking from the Southwest to the Northeast. The red line represents my backdrop on the layout. Notice the three arrival/departure tracks and the run through track on the right side of the yard. Also notice the wye track on the North end of the yard by the radio antenna. This wye track is used by the C&G coming from Columbus going to Greenville. It's also used by a couple locals that turn at Artesia.

This photo is a composite photo of what my Artesia yard looks like on both sides of the backdrop. On the right, you can see the yard as seen from the aisles of the layout room. You can see where the arrival/departure tracks go though the backdrop. To the left, is what the arrival/departure tracks look like behind the backdrop. These will be 30' staging tracks along with one run through wye track and C&G staging. I'm almost through with wiring this up. All tracks but the wye track past the switch are live.

In this pic, I returned to scenery for a bit and laid in some more plaster cloth at Tibbee. I still want this to be one of my first completed scenes on the layout. It's getting closer.
