Backdrop |

|
The backdrop/divider helps to break the layout into 2 separate scenes. The will help keep the
layout from seeming like the simple circle that it is while trains circle endlessly. It is made
out of two 1/8" pieces of foamcore board glued together. In the future each side will have a
different scene that will be the background for the structures. The yard side will be a skyline
scene, while the other side will be a small town and farm in the distance.

I painted the backdrop a light blue that my wife had left over from an earlier project. It
worked great and looks like a pale blue sky. On the Codyville side, I have put together a
mockup of the backdrop I am going to use. It is made by
Realistic Backgrounds for Model Railroads. This same background can be seen on the cover
of the May Model Railroader and in the article "All about signs". I plan on cutting the
buildings from the sky and pasting them onto my backdrop. I will do the same thing on the
Adrisport side using one of their country scenes. They look great and are very inexpensive.
