Thanks for the encouraging remarks everyone. The scenes on the layout are nowhere near finished, but it is nice to hear all the kind remarks as the layout progresses. The wharf area is especially in need of more details, as right now only the tugboat and crane denote there is even a wharf at all. I am planning a 8x2 extension wich will do justice to the waterfront area, along with more sea going vessals, and piers, docks etc. This is a great forum, and I look forward to enjoying the work of others as well.
