meanwhile, under the South Hill.

Now that some progress has been made on the northern hill of the layout, it's time to turn some attention to the southern end.

So a start was made with some backdrops - the same foamboard that has been for the whole layout.

An L-angle spine in the corner...

And some backdrop...

...and there it stops. 

It would have been nice to continue scenicking the hill, but, there's been something missing under it which needed to be sorted out. 

You see, the inner of the two storage tracks up at the upper-level 'station' was never completed because I ran out of track. The track was purchased about a year ago, but never installed, so now seems like as good a time as any. 

N scale cork underlay added to give the required height (as I'm using flex here as part of my messy mishmash of MicroTrains points, Rokuhan curves and Peco and Microtrains flex).

Track added!

It must be about time to see if this still runs.
