I will be posting various pictures and documents to capture some of the history of my railroad and current activities. My most recent efforts are focused on adding some scenery to the layout. Here are a few pictures taken over the last month.
My freelance railroad is located in central Missouri. This is based on the premis that after the Rock Island filed for bankruptcy in 1980, the EL purchased the Rock Island's St. Louis to Kansas City corridor.

Rigid foam insulation is being used to create rough terrain countours at Summit.
Tracks have been reconfigured at Summit to increase capacity at Summit Mine and the Summit team track. A new industry (undetermined at this time) is also going to be added.
This mountain was recently created starting with rigid foam insulation. It is not completely finished, but you can get a pretty good feel for how the finished product will look. It is my first real attempt at using this method of scenery construction. The technique is somewhat time consuming but I am pleased with the results. This inspired me to rebuild the old plaster scenery at Summit with foam.
