2.6. Backwoods Territory

Depots

Admittedly quarry railroads didn't haul passengers, but I decided to use modeler's license and add a bit more character to G&RB. This little depot is exactly what I'm after for Greystone.

Here's a good candidate for Rock Bottom, which I could model as a converted boxcar.

Backwoods Town

This lonely road is how I envision Rock Bottom, dotted with ramshackle shanty homes and maybe one general store.

I may add one of these for kicks...

Grist Mill

I knew from the outset that the layout would have a grist mill (animated, of course). My research has helped me capture an authentic feel; of the dozens of reference images I've collected, this one is closest to what I had in mind.
