More Scenery

I was able to make more scenery progress on \the small N layuout. I used Woodland Scenics Ready Rock and their 1" white foam cut into small blocks to build up the side of a blasted area inside the curve.

I don't have any particular prototype in mind, but there are formations like this on the CSX Berkshire Sub, on the former Clinchfield, and in various parts of the western US. Because there aren't enough suitable shapes available in the faceted Ready Rocks package I used, I'll switch to a package of shelf type Ready Rocxks I have on hand to finish the other side of the curve. I don't think the difference between metamorphic and sedimentary types will be too visible, they'll form separate scenes visible from different sides of the layout.

I'm holding thingd together with Elmer's glue. I'll use ground foam soked in Elmer's to fill in gaps in the rock face and add other vegetation. When the rock face is finished around the curve, I'll fill the new surface in with a sheet ot 1" foam.
