Working in the yard

I am concentrating on the center section with the "yards" because once I put the wings back on, I won't be able to reach the middle.  I don't want to remove a wing just to plant a new tree or small building.

"THREE LITTLE PUFFER BELLIES ALL IN A ROW!"

Old train storage yards didn't have a lot of traffic so grass, weeds and bushes tend to grow there.

Here I have added more track ballast (the gravel between the rails).  You glue it in place by carefully pouring the ballast along the tracks, then mist it with "wet water" (water with added dish soap), this makes the glue wick into all the cracks and then carefully "dribble" on diluted white glue.

Not all materials are man-made.  The brown "dirt" is from my yard.  Just sifted with one of Gayle's good kitchen sifters (don't tell her).
