It`s been a while since I updated this thread, I can now do so as I am on the last section .
This has been a project on hold until it hit me this week what I wanted to accomplish here. So in goes the making of a road on a hill. It is ready for the instafill to be spread in, next will be the scenery up from the rails and down the other side where there is located two portals. Also there is a business section going in top and bottom. This will take a while to finish as the overhead has to go in, you may notice I change the track a bit. Last shots of the town platform

Looking good Chris!! I assume the two strips I see are to contain the roadway - plaster, right? I see my favourite building in that shot - man it's a nice one!
I can't believe how quickly your layout is coming together.  Mine seems to be taking forever!! Val |

Thanks Val, Yes the balsa strips will keep the road neat, then the earth grass bushes will be added.

Wow Chris - nice work, and coming along quickly too...!
That 5 story building is fantastic. Looks great following the curve of the road too. Very different than the usual flats or shallow relief background buildings one usualy sees. Andrew

Here she is fitted in and scenery done.
The kit was a dream to build and one can do many things with it re setting up the scene

Yep it has been a while , been busy retiring and such LOL! Right know I am dropping wires every 3 ft getting ready for DCC. Also checking the poles before the scenery cements them from access. I will soon Miles.
