The backdrop at the right end of Woodstock, follows 59 highway south to Curries. When heading south in your car, from Woodstock you can still see a line of telegraph poles to your right, which followed the PD&LH across a field. In the background is a line of Cedar trees, along Cedar Creek, with Bower Hill behind that. Eventually the railroad crossed 59 highway, at an angle, south of Curries. After the tracks were removed, the station, made into a house, sat at a weird angle to the highway. I tried to simulate most of these elements, for my layout, mostly on the backdrop.
The blue backdrop, part of a cloud and the grey of 59 highway south with the angled crossing, at Curries Station were already painted.
After painting another cloud on the right and extending the one on the left, I added the hills and trees, to resemble the Cedar tree line and Bower Hill.
More clouds were added and 3 building pictures were glued onto the backdrop.
Added trees, ground cover and lumber stacks. I think I will paint some of the forground trees taller.
