On the lower trackage, we come across a
scratch built snow shed protecting the tracks.
Jim’s layout shows that logging was, and still

crushed, another victim of paint curing gone
awry, a felled tree resting across the top of it.

mill.
The store bought backdrops that Jim
heavily enhanced which surround the entire
layout portrays the west, with earthen hues
and mountain regions. Making a U-turn and

scenery doesn’t change at all, it simply flows
from one form of foresting area to another.
Here Jim has built a switchback to gain ac-
cess to the upper level.
