Model Railroading > Plywood Pacific no more ...

Contrary to popular belief, our Sugar Pine Lumber Company layout will not be a Plywood Pacific for much longer.

Looks like you're having a Foam Fiesta!

With "self isolation" time on our hands, we can make a lot of progress.

The corner next to Berrian Vista and the area adjacent to Central Camp is now filled with foam, and I'll also be replacing some of that old blue foam in Central Camp with some newer material. I'm embarrassed to think how many years ago that original blue foam was installed, I think it was back when I still lived in Indiana. The adhesive I used sort of corroded the foam so it’s just as well it’s going out. I had to extend the Central Camp deck by about 6” to broaden the curve coming in, so some new foam arrangement was called for anyway. 

Now, regarding the foam scenery base, as the saying goes, "How do you carve a statue of an elephant from a big boulder? Carve away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.=14px”

Side effect: The lower deck sure gets dark when the light from above doesn’t shine down on it any more. I need to find some of that “strip light” LED lighting that can be adjusted to 5500K daylight color. Suggestions are most welcome!

Those are the most carefully cut and laid out cardboard strips I've ever seen.  Nice!

Haha, right?  That was my thought as well!
