I am putting the cart before the house or vise versa. I have posted pics. before of finished areas and/or finished structures. But based on a post in the discussion section on benchwork I would like show what I did for my layout build. But bear in mind this was how I did it and is not the only way.

Changes & Additions Part 2

Here are the changes I am making in the Green Bay Industrial District on my CNW- Peninsula Division

I have removed all the scenery around the Coal Dealer & added a small piece of bench work with new facia in front of it. The second and most important thing is that I am adding the roads and parking lots to the rest of the area. I also have one more scratch built building to add and some back ground flats to add. I am going to do a "How I did it" post on my method of road construction.

Changes are a coming - Working on some changes in two different areas of my CNW layout. The first is the Hardwood Lumber Mill. I have removed all of the saw dust that covered the whole area, never did really like it. Also removed all the ballast from the track, added one new track near the log pond. I will be adding some type of road into the Mill, not sure if it will be dirt or gravel at this time. (any suggestions?) Reapplying the ballast, lighting the structures. I did add a concrete floor to the lumber storage shed.

OK here goes again. These photos are of the Green Bay Industrial Area on my layout. The first shows Green Bay on the right & part of the branch line leading to the lumber mill at Hardwood. The second shows the other end of the branch line with the lumber mill in the distance. The rest of the photos show some of the buildings. The three on the right are scratch built and I will be having them judged for merit points for getting my Master Builder-Structures, Certificate of Achievement.
