Some scenery going in...

I'm not a big fan of pre planning. It drives me crazy with all the options. I'd rather start out with a general plan and start laying track!

Of course the downside is when one gets a new bright idea after stuff is laid out! Originally I had planned for this lower track to be independent of the upper, larger track. One at kid level, one for the adults.

But I've since reconsidered. The background you see behind and above the trestle has just been demoed a bit to make room for a climbing grade. The trains will circle this mountain twice to reach the upper level. Yeah I know I should have planned it better in the first place but then again I might not have even started.
