You may recall the disaster that befell the Sub because of a leaky valve in the kitchen above (disregard the fact that the total insurance settlement went to nearly 50k) and caused some scenery damage - here's a shot to refresh your memory:



Making lemonade from lemons, here's what I've come up with:

I'm pleased with the progress so far; the road is based on the one that crosses the real thing near Keene, and thanks to Google's street view I can capture the details nicely.

If these are N scale, then you have done *VERY* well!!  (Yes, I know they are N).

I think they're antennas for the Remote Control equipment (not 100% sure). I just measured one and they're approximately 0.0015" because its actually tiny strands of hair haha.

This is seriously one of my favorite spots on your layout. And a teaser for those following the traveling baggage car, it makes a wonderful scene for a Pennsy b60 being pulled by a CB&Q Mikado

NICE!

Taking N scale modeling to the extreme!  I like it!
