Winnemucca is the western end of the scenery on this layout. On the prototype both the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific rail lines pass under bridges so I am using this feature to exit the tracks from the layout. First step was to build up some low hills from building foam and some wadded packing paper then drape on the plaster cloth.
In the photo above the SP line is on the left and will pass under the Interstate 80 overpass. The WP line curves off to the right and will pass under the Melarkey Street / US 95 overpass. In reality these two spots are almost a mile apart and a couple miles from Wesso but as we often do on our layouts I am compressing the scene into a smaller space.
