A milestone on the Kirtland Route

I have finished drywall work on the peninsula and with that the backdrop is completed and primed.
It is ready for paint but first theirs a few loose ends to finish up.
I have a few more pieces to install on the bech work and only Four more lights to install and wire!

No news is good news?

Not in the case of a model railroad, all that means is no progress has been made and thus; the story of the Kirtland Route for the past few months.
The latest project, and what will be the last of the drywall work, has been rounding off the end of the peninsula backdrop. My original plan was too cut some 3" PVC in half and wrap the 1x4 in it. I thought it would bend enough to fit, however it proved to be too rigid. I use some 3" pipe that we use for sleeve at work much more flexible and does not shatter like PVC. It worked out perfectly once I remembered to bring a section home.

I realized theirs not many photos of the trains on the track so here's a few.
