Upper and lower deck staging with the fascia installed and painted.  The Lenz system is installed here with one test track.  The tunnels through the wall to the main train room can be seen on the left.

 

Stellarton yard with the upper deck to staging now installed with painted Fascia.  Andrew Moizer repurposed some lumber for the fascia on the upper deck.

 

Another angle of Stellarton, the Granton / Abercrombie peninsula and looking into my study where staging and some Truro and Sydney area industries are located.

 

This area will be Trenton.  The blue foam in the background will be the the upper deck heading to Sydney

 

This area is the end of Trenton with the front section heading to Pictou Landing and the risers heading to Havre Boucher.  Note the scene block to keep the scenes separate.

 

This is Pictou Landing with the risers in the background being the mainline heading to Havre Boucher and Cape Breton.  The section in the foreground will be Pictou Harbour.

 

The mainline heading from Trenton to Havre Boucher.

 

This is the section that will be Havre Boucher, the yard that cars for Port Hawkesbury, Point Tupper and Antigonish.  Note how the scene block keeps it seperate from the rest of the layout.

 

A view of the main train room.  The section in the front is Havre Boucher.

 

These are the loops coming into the furnace / laundry room from staging.
