There is still much work to do on the layout. Some are short term goals such as completing the track work, wiring, and bridges. (There are still two bridges which have not been built -- simple wooden planks serve as temporary bridges in those locations.) Others are longer term, such as constructing the many buildings, mines and other structures. The buildings will all have low voltage lighting inside which will come on automatically after dark. Adding foliage is an ongoing process.

In addition, I have plans to improve the lower yard and patio area. I want to remove the old kennel fencing, and the dog house.  The large pile of soil which was removed from the slope will be turned into a raised viewing area. I also want to remove the metal shed which currently blocks the view of the railroad, and replace it with a long, low horizontal structure along the retaining wall. The loose concrete blocks which form the steps from the patio to the railroad level will be replaced with permanent wooden stairs with handrails.
