I hit my goal of finishing both bridges and laying track all the way around, before Christmas. With the holidays and some travel, I probably won't do a lot of modeling for a couple of weeks, so instead I'm going to post some photos of the work so far.
The next few days I'll do a bit of scenery work and other small tasks, and maybe experiment with different pine tree construction techniques. After the holidays I'll build a dozen or so pine trees and put together the water tank. I may add a small shed next to it.

The 4-4-0 will never actually run on this layout due to the sharp curves, but it does look nice sitting on the bridge.

| The truss bridge seems to be the place for locomotive glamor shots. The 0-4-0 is undergoing a repaint job and looking a lot better than its former livery. |

| A couple of clusters of Woodland Scenics pines make good background trees. |

| A couple of weeks into January, it's starting to look like the wooded mountain scenery I had in mind. |

| I really like the lighting on this one. There's a photo flood about six feet above and to the right. I need to get some kind of backdrop to hide all the be background junk. |
