Extra 708 West departs Milton, UT and rolls west over Grease-
wood Trestle through typical northern Great Basin surround-
ings on Rob Spangler’s HO Western Pacific layout.
Rob says of this photo, “This location is tough to photograph be-
cause of the limited available angles that don’t show where the
backdrop curves out of the scene, plus there are shadows be-
hind the trestle that are hard to avoid because of how close the
backdrop is. They disappear into the trees if no train is present.”

Rob is a frequent poster on the MRH site
and we hope to see him do some articles for us on his scen-
ery construction techniques. In the meantime, make sure and
