Painting the Backdrop on our F scale Garden Railroad

As we continue the work on the F scale (1:20.3) indoor-outdoor garden railroad at garagemahal we continue painting the backdrop AND build the first benchwork outside.

Karyn also carves a tiny wood train AND we plant boxwood.

As we continue to be socially distanced by COVID 19 we are getting a lot done on modeling projects. But mostly the indoor-outdoor large scale railroad. Over the last 3 weeks, we have been painting the scenery, mountains and trees as well as accidental roads and ponds. And whatever just happens as we work!! Almost done, then onto the indoor benchwork.

AND speaking of benchwork we have started on the outdoor benchwork in the area we call "The Grapevine". We also had laid about 50 feet of temp track just to test the track plan and make sure everything fits!

We have always said the backdrop needs to come first, in many if not most cases people put it off to the end when the backdrop is difficult or even impossible to access. BUT with a bit of planning and sticking to a plan, the backdrop can go in before the benchwork when it's easy to work on.

So far we have been working in the switching yard, but the yard lead extends into the shops, so we need to get the benchwork in there before we can finish the yard. SO, the time has come to finish the huge backdrop.
