I'm finally getting around to working on the town section of my layout. I left a large oval-ish section in the center of my layout. After several false starts I decided to create an underlayment from 3/16 plywood that will be the base of the all the streets. Used joint compound to create the street surface and painted black. They grey squares, made from 0.093 acrylic sheet, are the "blocks" where buildings will go. At far right is a where a loading doc/storage area
will go. At far left is where a passenger train station will go. The small grey block at top left is where the lower station for my incline train (funicular) will go. That's the only building that is complete so far. Looking forward to getting started on the other buildings.
