Well after taking the summer off for other hobbies, I got back working on the railroad. I realized that I had too much track going on and not enough space for scenery, so I removed a large yard area running through the center and simplified the module connection points.
I decided to finish off the simple 2' x 4' straight module with a rural farm scene. My wife grew up on a farm that grew grapes for raisins. She described the process where they picked the grapes and dried them on large pieces of paper between the rows, so I tried to model that.
Here are some more photos. The details of how I made the grape vines and row crops are on the Picassa site. It was all cut into the pink foam. http://picasaweb.google.com/dannsparks/BendTrack#
