Louisiana Central Railroad Company Layout Construction

<< Previous
Here's a birds eye view of the Illinois Central trackage (center) that is running through the business district of Willis.  The mainline is complete, but the passing siding and the interchange track switch have yet to be installed.  The penciled in curve coming off the interchange switch will be the interchange track leading into the Louisiana Central yard.  The curving track to the right and following the wall is the Louisiana Central mainline continuing to Bude (actually, it's dipping down and heading into staging).

The white areas are drywall compound.  The Homasote sold these days isn't near as "perfect" as that sold years ago, so I'm filling some of the joints to level out the table top.  I also used drywall screws to temporarily clamp the Homasote down while gluing it to the plywood, then removed the screws after the glue dried.  I went ahead and filled those holes so scenery materials wouldn't get swallowed up later.
