Building Scenery

I've started roughing in the scenery on my micro layout. So far, I've got a gentle hill climbing out to the edge of the layout over by the turntable, the area where the waste water will be is dug out, and I've started building up the mountain for the tunnel.



You can see the wood grade crossing I built for the dirt road, and where the road will probably be, on the left. The mountain in the back doesn't have a top yet, but the rough shapes are progressing. The hill by the turntable doesn't show up too well in this picture.



The mine train is nosing it's way out of what will be the tunnel. The water area is in the front, and the black dot indicates where a water pipe will come out of the ground. Oh, you can also see that I've replaced the stock Atlas turnout control with a Caboose Industries ground throw. I think they look a lot better.
