Yep, I'm calling it done. In all, roughly 209 trees, 122 people, 124 animals, 37 cars & trucks. When I look at those numbers, it's hard for even me to believe all of that is in my relatively small model RR space, but yeah, they're in there! 4 steam locomotives & 1 gas-powered railcar, and a couple dozen freight and passenger cars that I rotate on & off. 26 buildings. 3 bridges, 3 tunnels.

Here are a few shots of the last buildings and scenes completed (including Vandelay Industries!):











So, now what?? As I always say, there can never be too many details, so these may pop up now and then. I do have just a few more cars & trucks to finish. I want to swap out the body on the Galloping Goose (now a school bus body, I have a Pierce-Arrow limo body - the real RGS used both). I will be adding lighting to the passenger cars and cabooses, and doing some more weathering on the locomotives and rolling stock.

I'll be going thru all my leftover "stuff", deciding what to sell, donate, keep or trash. It will be nice to be able to use the master bedroom's closet as an actual closet!

And of course, when I don't feel like doing any of this, I can just enjoy running trains thru the scenery!
