are finished as is the coal unloading dock. |

placed and functional, I develop and test the automations of the
hidden staging yard. |

| February 2010 :
Dismantling this part of the layout in order to install a new window. I
was thus able
to test the demountability of the modules ! |

that this part was dismantled to finalize the upper level backdrop
(structure and
basecoat). |

to be modified for a better location of the structures. |

backdrop (basecoat) and application of the cork 2mm between the tracks. |

 |
| September 2010 : Achieving of
cardboard models that represent the structures. These models (often modified), serve only to give me an idea of volume, they will be replaced gradually. The definitive structures will be made from scratch building or based on Walthers Cornerstone kits (see Links). |
