Duder dude? Yeah a friend just gave me a tee shirt from Colorado, it says; we’re twice as high as most … that 'Splains it Lucy!
Been a tad warm here, too hot to think! I think… therefore I sweat. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)pant pant …
Mostly doing some clean up and sorting track… trying to inventory track bought blindly off the rack as needed, wot o night horse! Hmmm not all 8s and 10s diameters and not all the same arc … some are remnants of cuts I made and others are sections put in the wrong bin!
After advising Devon of the need for a central passing track, It has been decided that there will be a High Line (I’ll dedicate it to the Duder dude). I think you’ll like the way I’m planning it to match the narrows. When it cools… I made post it notes, I’m cool. sorta to say…
Anyway from my front porch;
Almost as many rocks as a New England grass field! This area gets cleaned out, just barely visible on the left is my Saguaro cactus. The plan is for the loop to enclose it with the required large curved trestle, then between there and back to the layout will hopefully someday be a visible mine where I’ll recreate the scenes I saw when I dared to venture into scary places … cracked beams were everywhere, over loaded as they back filled their way out. The track in the left mid-ground is in piles not position.
I kinda wanna keep the old wooden mountain behind except it’s become the snakes den! There’s a section where I could model Rails to Trails! (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)
Too many rocks … it’s begun.
They pop in every where! Turquoise Mountain majesty! Above is where the trestle gets buried an a Fill.
Below in the back ground all the timbers will be removed as well as the rock and the land will revert back to natural…
In the fore ground the fence goes and of course a couple more rocks get new homes, the fore ground tracks will get a higher degree of detail, but not to the point of trying to out wit nature … that’s a fool’s task here.
The timber wall was necessary as wild life management … 300 pound peccaries with a pig snout and cloven hooves. Javalina. They walked around the first elevated portion without hesitation so I know I won’t need it anymore. There’s all the wood for the new.
Not really much to report, but it’s a slow day here so maybe … the Dudest. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
