Modules #7 & #8 and
connector #7 are finished. This is the stretch of mainline that serves as a scenery transition between Ohio and Michigan as the rail line leaves Akron OH and heads toward Lapeer MI. Imagine tree covered rolling hills with the right-of-way passing through shallow cuts and over short fills with the occasional culvert or small bridge.
This is also the smallest radius curve on the main. It is 24″ at its tightest point but only for a short length. There are easements in and out to help mitigate the small radius. A relatively deep cut will block much of the train from view just as it goes through the sharpest point in the curve. Although right now with only flat pink foam for landscape the curve looks a bit wonky.
Otherwise, module building just like the ones before them. How about a few pics:
