Update on my Layout

Well today is a nasty rainy day so I decided to work on my layout. On one end I am building a tunnel mountain section.
I have the tunnel made but before I can put the roof on the tunnels I needed to put up a facia along that end of the layout.
I cut out the facia and cutout a access panel so I will be able to get to derailment if I have any and clean the track.
I have painted it and waiting for the paint to dry so I can mount it onto the layout. Once that is up I can put the roof on the tunnels. Then I can start to build the mountain on top of the tunnels.
Thats if for now I will post pic soon.

Happy Railroading!!!    :)

You don't need to worry.  Trains never derail inside a tunnel.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

Here are a few update photo




Access Panel....I'll put nice knobs on it later.

On master track planner John Armstrong's layout he had one of his "reverted loops".  Along the facia he had put up a little sign that read "Cut here in case of excruciating difficulty".  A good number of years later, if one looked, the facia had been cut into and the sign was amended to read "On (such-and-such a date) the difficulty was deemed to be excruciating and this hole was cut".

I like the twin tunnel portals. the remind me of some places I've been to like Gallitzin, pa and Alleghany, va..... on some lines they bored a second tunnel parallel to the original, rather than enlarge the older one.
