A rolling list of the most recent things that are new or being worked on:

- Work on the layout will be taking a Summer break - replaced by grass cutting, trimming, weeding, fun in the Sun, etc... 

- Got one set of 125 unpainted Preiser figures with the intent of painting them later. Never attempted to paint n scale figures before.

- Finished another batch of SuperTrees.  These additional 70 trees should be all I need for the layout.  Holding a dozen in reserve for future changes.

- The station got some Atlas hairpin fencing on the far platform and between the tracks.

- Finished two sets of telephone/power poles. Removed the crossarms on a few just for some variation.  Added pins from the bottom to ease placement.

- Beginning to assemble and put in some Blair Line road signs.  Don't have all the ones I need, but it's a start.

- Added some short leg extensions, and floor sliders, to the bottom of the shelving units so I can slide the layout away from the wall if needed.  This raised the layout height a few inches to 47".

- Put quick disconnections on wires that leave the bottom of the layout. 

- Toning down some of the roadside gravel which was standing out a little too much.

- Put some replacement brake handwheels on the Red Caboose X-29s cars.

- Starting to set the final ground foam and driveways close to each structure, starting with the houses first.

- Finished and planted the last of the SuperTrees which came out looking pretty good.  Probably do some more in the Spring.

- Received a Proto (Life-Like) FA-1 and FB-1 set of nice engines that are very quiet.  Put Unimates couplers between the units.

- Added a scratch built unloading ramp behind the stores on the main street.

- Added a simple passenger station platform on the far mainline track and a walkway between it and the station.
