….............................--- Scenery to Track Elevator – Part 6 ---

=========================================

Continuing with the scenery on the upper level going to the track elevator……...

Finally got back to this area of the layout and it feels good to be moving on with it.

I have turnouts in a couple places that will probably get servos under them. If not servos then one of the mechanically operated options I have. Either way they will initially be installed laying on the layout creeper down below. If I need to adjust the limit switch that powers the frog polarity that would be easier to adjust from the side so I’m going to have it so I can lift out the scenery in a couple places in this area.

At least on end of the lift-out has to be angled, almost forgot that. I made the lift-out section and then, shown above, started on the strata to the left of it.

Down to the final section for this area.

This lower level went way faster than the one up by the backdrop and only took a couple partial days to do but I do have more practice at this point also.

I need to add some rock detail on the top of this section over to the track to break up the flatness of it. Nothing is flat or straight in nature. There is only about 130+ scale feet between the lower and upper level but for some reason it looks more than that.

I’m happy with the lift-out sections and feel that they aren’t too obvious when in place.

After the images above were taken I worked on the area where the top lift-off lays on the bottom lift-out section.

The top gray piece and other pieces to the right of it are about ¼” higher than the foam on the upper level bench-work. The area under the top scenery (not shown above) was cut out so that scenery recesses into the foam board shown above.

.

The area will still get ground cover later.
