Operation Lifesaver Layout |

|
|
|
|
This is the progress of a 4' x 8' layout that will be used by Operation Lifesaver at the Kansas State Fair to help promote train saftey. |

A good coat of primer was used after the basic table was built. |
|
|
|
Roundhouse Corner |
|
|
|
The Kato track was laid out to check the fit. |
|
|
|
|
|
Testing the track or having some fun? |

A section of table was cut out and lowered for a creekbed. |
|
|
|
Masking tape is used to keep the track clean. |
|
|
|
A pair of bridges would look good here. |
|

| Yellow styrofoam is used to gain the contour of the land. |
|
|
Here is what the land looks like after the ground cover is added. |
|
|
|
|
These tools are used to shape the styrofoam. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Now it's time to add some trees. |
|
|
The contour of the land and the trees lining the creekbed looks realistic. |
|
|
And more trees. |
|
|
|

Got milk? |
|
| Even dead trees give this layout some life. |
|
|
|
|
Gotta have an old limestone post fence. |
|

|
It looks like this guy is trying to impress his girlfriend. |
|
|
Some added detail and...more trees. |
|
|
|
|
|
I guess he didn't see that huge billboard. |

A Kansas icon. |
|
| Seems like these kids are looking for trouble. |
|
|
|
|
Those horses are going to need some water. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the south set looks like someone drove around them. |
|
| The north set of crossing signals looks good. |
|
|
|
|
The lights work! |
|

|
| Looks like someone is getting a ticket. |
|
|
|
|
This layout is ready for the fair. |
|
|
Look for the duck. |
