The peninsula takes shape April 6

We held another work session on Saturday, April 6, to build out the center peninsula that will hold our Rochester scenes and return the main line back to staging. We also started preliminary work on the framing that will support the curved backdrop in the Niagara Falls scene. Here's a few photos from that day. Make sure to follow us on Facebook for more updates!

The center peninsula takes shape...

Ryan and J.C. install braces on the peninsula.

We tacked up some pieces of masonite temporarily to show how the fascia will flow smoothly around the perimeter of the benchwork.

Phillip and Otto construct framing to support the curved backdrop in Niagara Falls.

Where we left off at the end of April 6 work session. Additional cross members will be installed that will support the various levels of track and scenery throughout.
