I really wanted to try modelling a snow bound scene for something different. For my layout, Erewhon is located in the mountains, a staging point between the rest of the outside world and the my Thoroughfare Gap Railroad. It has a small engine house and a turntable for looking after the locomotives.
I need to add some more conifer trees at various points in the scene but otherwise I feel it is largely complete. I have thought about including a coaling tower and water tower but I don't really have room. I may include these on the backdrop at some stage 'in the distance'.
A mirror adds to the illusion of distance. The ties under the turnouts had rotted out, the track gang replaced them with new ones.
