Starting to bury the team track in the dirt and weeds.

After many moons, the last structure,  the  house kit is finally completed. Also got some initial ballasting done and the forms for the road paving in place.

Ironic the kit that made you come up with this module in the first place is almost the last feature added to it.

It was also the longest build so I wanted the other ones out of the way and this one doesn't directly impact the track so thre is more flexibility . Now this means I can continue on the scenery elements.

Correct. As stated in my first post,  this location is made up. Some of the elements like the overpass and silos are inspired by the Derry, Oregon locale which I "moved" to the Wisconsin area because I wanted to feature the Milwaukee and not the SP. It's generic enough so I could vary the equipment and it would still look good such as SP, Soo, C&NW etc.
