Landscaping & Lighting - Phase 5
            
    I have started the landscaping on the table itself. Most all the landscaping material I use is Woodland Scenics or Life-Like SceneMasters along with Arttista figures. As you can see I started adding scenes to the layout, Camp site with backpackers, some parking barriers for the beach and a fox going after a pair of rabbits. I have also started spreading the ballast to the track as well as covering up all the wiring.

         

    I also pulled out some of the trusses and created rock to match the mountain. I think this gave the layout more continuity and an effect I was trying to add. This rock feature was built the same way as the mountains above. This is still a little messy while under construction. I have also started to wire some of my accessories. In the above picture I have a double signal brige and a water tower with a beacon light.

           
         

    Before I complete my landscaping I wanted to finish all the building and accessory wiring in case I need to walk on the table, I do not want to Godzilla anything. I wired a few buildings and accessories:
