All the new HVAC work in October created quite a mess in the layout entrance. A whole new electrical service was needed, and the panel created an unsightly entrance to the layout. Having seen a number of world-class railroads, I know the Onondaga Cutoff needs a nice initial impression to make visitors and regulars feel comfortable and to present a seamless introduction.
So, I created a large new forest canopy for the cover to the new panel, which makes the view down the stairs seamless:
Once you come down off the steps to the landing, the view is just as smooth over the new panel.
All of this was hours of pondering and then hours of custom construction, with assistance from DemClams to make all the trees. But in a push, we got there - and thankfully once again the railroad has a seamless entrance with which it has the best chance to make a great first impression.
