An overall shot of Borodino Landing in the
foreground and Bacon Hill in the back. I tried some forced
perspective in this area, using small trees and buildings in the
back and gradually making things more to scale in the front. Tom
Staton painted the back drop.
This railroad is under construction.
Operationally, these areas are 8 miles apart. The model however,
will share a two-story station between the two areas. As you can
see, I use some cardboard mock-ups to see if I like a particular
building.

Locomotive #12 is on the siding while the
local passes on the main. |
| B&S caboose #48 is at the station.
The structures in this shot are scratch built.
The station shingles are individual pieces of cedar cigar
wrapper. |

#71 and combine cross this wonderful scratch
built bridge. The bridge was built by Don Clerke and the combine
by Al Kalbfleisch, both members of the Hartford Workshop. I was
fortunate to be able to acquire these models.
