The river section shown this month is made up of foam sheets
cut to the contour of the main line curve, with six inches of
scenery on each side of the track. Quarter-inch oak plywood
is wrapped around the foam and glued in place to form the
curved sides and flat bottom. Everything is stained, and fin-
ished with polyurethane.
The removed sections has a safe place under the layout for
storage and can be dropped into place at a moment’s notice.
Replacing the pins and the rail joiners allows trains to be run-
ning in minutes.
