Work continues on covering the helix and we're getting closer to completion. Just a bit more painting to do, and then we're ready for ground cover and foliage.
Below is a rock face, poured into molds, and then glued on to and blended into the pink foam material we're using for the scenery. All the other rock faces in both photos are carved directly into the pink foam and then painted. Carving and painting are by John Ellenbracht.
When this work is complete, in a couple of weeks, this end of the railroad will be pretty much finished. This will provide what I think will be "signature scenes" at each end of the P&LE, i.e., this cover of the helix on one end (forming Howard Mountain), and the Freytag Engine House at the opposite end in Paducah.
