Late last night, I added the new road in Joliet and filled in the gap between the roads in Blue Island and the fascia. I also started on the rough roads in front of D&D News in Blue Island plus the new road leading to the moved Bureau station. Oh yes, I probably failed to mention I moved Bureau station to the wye as it is in reality. So, no more reverse moves into Bureau off the Peoria Branch. I also built up the land forms in Joliet to match the fascia elevation.
This morning, finished clean-up of the layout itself (the room is still a mess).
Sanded the roads in Joliet and Blue Island and painted. I also painted the road in front of Franklin Farms.
When re-installing the car card boxes, I moved of the boxes around plus some industry names have changed . I decided to dress up the box labels from the originally printed versions. The new box label displays the RI logo, lists the town and industry to help quickly identify them. A sample is shown below.
The layout is starting to look classy now!
