Nice to see a new stage in the layout, trees and grass are popping up everywhere, must be Spring. I had been working with Glen and stopped to take some pictures and found that Ralph had applied scenery to areas on the branch line. Trent, Don and Doug were adding trees at Miller. Jim and Don had done an area on the upper loop and Tom and Jim added plaster to the quarry wall, nice to have Tom back from Florida as we were running out of rocks. Then I found John at work soldering leads at Springbank. Two yards got ballasted and glued down, Cliff and Rod have become very proficient at this task. I returned to help Glen and found a whole rock cliff I had just installed was gone, OK a little rock ledge, but it was gone. Apparently an executive decision had been made in my absence that this would look better as a sloping hill, and I think that they were correct. Jim brought in a bandsaw, wow that makes short work of cutting plaster rocks, thanks.Didn't mention it before, but Ralphs cutoff saw has also been a great time saver especially in the original building of the benchwork.
