Landscaping Begins

After removing all the bridges and viaducts, and covering the track with painter's tape, I began to apply the landscaping.

For this process I chose the various ground foam products from Woodlands Scenics. I used a combination of the burnt grass & yellow grass to get a more desert like effect. The only place I laid down green grass was in the center of the layout between Winslow and Flagstaff.

When I pulled up the tape I had a few problems with my roads, as the asphalt coloring was pulled off in some places. All I had to do was re-apply the covering. Next, we start on the rivers and waterfall.
