I have recently gotten active in trying to finish the gate-bridge at the open end of the layout. I had to learn how to cut and shape foam and how to secure ballast on the sides of the fill area on both sides of the bridge. This involved watching a lot of YouTube and Model Railroad Video Plus documents. After a lot of introspection I think I am ready.

Today I got one step closer to the swing bridge I’ve been working on for the last month. Still lots of work to do, but the time away from everything outside is giving me a mental boost and the project is keeping me busy.
