I made a trip to my friend Bryan Daniel's model railroad the Unita RR. Bryan and his friend Bob have made a huge amount of progress this past year. It was fun to see the scenery taking shape and all the work they have done since the last time I was there about three months a go.
This is a shot of the mining area just to your left as you walk in the layout room. The rock cliffs are made using the geodesic foam and cast satin reasons that I have been using on my layout. Bryan is modeling the Colorado scenery where the Unita railroad operated in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
This steal truss bridge that Bob built spans a large canyon that has two tunnel portals where the main line will run next to a river that will flow in the foreground. The section to the right is what I worked on that will be the river cascading down to the bottom under the truss's that support the bridge.
This is an areal view of the mining area with most of the scenery done. About the only thing left is to get the ballast around the railroad ties.
