Included in this post are several photos of the scenery near the Green River. As mentioned previously, the scenery is no where near complete, except for the "prime coat" which helps to begin the transformation from blue foam to realistic scenes.

| The base scenery for the Green River area. I have still not decided exactly how to complete the river. The bridge is an Atlas steel deck bridge that has been painted and weathered. The concrete abutments are 1x4's painted and weathered to simulate cast-in-place concrete abutments. |

| CB&Q 900 (GP-20) rolls through the cut and over the Green River on it's way to Walnut, Illinois. |

| Another look at CB&Q 900 as it meanders along the line to Walnut. |

| One more shot of the 900 on it's way to Walnut. The Great Northern 40-foot boxcar is destined for L.D. Spaulding Grain in Walnut. |
Now that the base scenery for the Green River area is complete, my next focus will be the town of Walnut, Illinois. I have developed a basic footprint for the town using paper cut-outs to simulate the building sizes. Walnut will be the largest town modeled on the Dragonfly. It will include several buldings, streets, a city park, and other details.
Check back soon for the next blog post and more information on the progress of the CB&Q Dragonfly Subdivision. Happy Railroading!
