The first set of photos presented here are of scenes in the 39+ square feet of scenery that I prepared for judging for the NMRA
Achievment Program Scenery certificate. Some of the photos were taken during the scenery development process.

Section 2 of my scenery work sits behind and includes the Pine Street industrial area. This area connects Scenery Section 1
(my NMRA AP Scenery certificate area) and the completed Secion 3 (see photos below)
Scenery Section 3 is located in one of the corners of the layout and is not as large as Section 1. The near edge of Section 3 is about 34-inches
back from the edge of the fascia. Which means that some of the details shown in the photos below are not as viewable from the floor of the
layout room as they are in the photos below. But it was an area in which I experimented with new scenery techniques which I did not have
to employ in Section 1. Among there were.
In general I am pleased with how each of these scenery techniques worked and each provided a good learning experience and notes for
improving the techniques involved.
The content of Section 3 is based around 2 Walthers kits that I fell in love with and wanted to incorporate in the layout somewhere. The
track in this area is a truncated branch line that used to run from Williamsport PA up to Lock Haven PA. The line was deactivated many
years ago and the stub end of it near Williamsport proved a nice siding for a small business i.e. the PA Farm Coop store. With limited
parking area the Antiques Barn seemed like a reasonable non-siding business to install here.
