Bring in the clouds

It has been a while since I posted the last time. Since then I have painted the backdrop with a sky and stenciled in some clouds using a stencil I had. The front of the layout also got a coat of black paint so that the eye can focus on the main attraction, the railroad.

This is how the other side of the main station yard looks like:

I also laid down all the track in the yard and in the fiddle yard as well. Unfortunatly, the DCC controled Right hand switches from Lenz are on backorder and have not yet arrived from the factory at the dealers.

It starts looking more and more like a layout. I painted all the walls black so as to make it quite different from the layout. The track in the front is the programing track and the next job will be to hook it and the rest of the wiring up. I currently have only one pair of wires connected to the layout from the Lenz controller, but have decieded to add a few more as to make sure there is current to all track when ballasting and painting is done.
