The other side of your layout, picture kind looks like my layout right now! Lots of small pieces of pink and blue foam!

a little something new

Made a foam 'cave' that will be a tunnel to the Mine shaft.

SS, With your mine shaft, how long is it, and how do you know when your cars have reached the end. I have something simaliar.

Mine Shaft

the mine is 1 curve, 1 straight, and one bumper track.

Its mostly 'dummy' but a can easily hold 3 or 4 open hoppers, a quick glance with a flashlight helps.
