And, yes, finally, we like to operate the layout. The layout covers approximately 700 square feet and includes around 1,000 feet of track and some 80 switches. In its present state trackwork is 98 percent complete. Roadbed is a type of spline with Homosote glued on top. Track is mostly flex with Code 83 on the mainline and code 70 in the yards and the sidings.
Turnouts are commercial with a couple of special handbuilt exceptions.
Many of the turnouts were modified for specific locations. All trackwork is glued in place with a latex contact cement. Scott used yarn, soft cloth and powdered grout to duplicate the desert look around Wenatchee. Rough scenery is complete with detailed scenery under way. Several different scenery systems were used starting with the old hydrocal-coated paper towels over wire screen and proceeding to layers of foam covered with a mixture of portland cement and vermiculite.
