| Mallary Pavilion in progress. |
In two weeks, the layout will be packed up in a trailer and on its way to Indianapolis, IN for this year's National Train Show. I've been working non-stop to have the layout ready for the event and have been adding numerous details all around the layout. In the photo above, the Mallary Pavilion has been mostly landscaped - the remaining pieces are to add leaves to the trees, plant a few flowers, and finish painting a caboose for the display track. Below is a photo of some of the interior details added to the Railroad Headquarters building. It's not quite finished but you can see where it is headed.

The loading dock has also received a few empty pallets and crates to create the illusion of freight being unloaded. In addition, the scenery has also been spruced up with some of the grass tufts from Walthers. The final photo below is of the weathering on Memorial Avenue. I used some chalk and the effect is subtle but makes a big difference when looking at the layout in person.
