Heath looks fantastic, you have accomplished a lot , keep up the great work until the next time , have a happy new years

It’s amazing how a flat photo backdrop can add so much depth to a scene. You did a great job and looking at all of that wiring, I can’t imagine if you would have had to do it from on your back or leaning halfway up from underneath. Good planning, Heath.

[@HumancityJunction]

Thank you so much! I could not imagine having to do it looking up as well.

[@deraildarrell]

Hi Heath 👋 Yeah ...backdrops make a huge difference . Looks great 👍 Darrell

[@HumancityJunction]

Yes it does! Thanks for the visit!!

[@TriGogglin]

Definitely a huge transformation, back drop looks great. Thats some serious wiring you got there. Pre wiring was definitely the way to go for you..

[@HumancityJunction]

Thanks 👍, I am trying to plan as much as possible, but I also know that things are going to change once I get going.

[@dmcry600]

[@possumbayou8238]

Good looking backdrop. Your layout is coming along.

[@HumancityJunction]

Rusty, Thanks! I am starting to see the light!

[@davestrains6816]

Looks great and thanks for sharing. Dave

[@HumancityJunction]

Thanks 👍

[@grandparails8858]

The backdrop looks good. I've been think about using backdrops on my layout.

[@HumancityJunction]

I think the photo backdrops provide a good place to start.

[@RonMontagueSWRR]

Great backdrop. Smart move with the wiring. I probably could of done that but I was working with much bigger sections.

[@HumancityJunction]

Two of the sections were 15" deep by 92". They were not easy to move around by myself.

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

Nice looking backdrop! And a very smart idea with the Pre-wiring.

[@HumancityJunction]

Thanks! I could not imagine trying to do all this wiring from underneath.

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

I wired my bus power wiring BEFORE I added the top, so I could do it standing up. The only wiring I need to get under the layout for are the drop feeders, when I hook them to the power blocks.

[@stevechilders2425]

Good update

[@HumancityJunction]

Steve, I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your shelf layouts.

[@TheTrainFreak]

Nice backdrop. I think you need more wires, you can never have enough. 🙃 - Jason

[@HumancityJunction]

Jason, I ran some random wires to and from random locations and did not label them!!

[@WigWagWorkshop]

Hey Der Heath! Looking good bud!

[@HumancityJunction]

Steven, Thanks so much!!

[@mysticrailroad]

thats a sweet backdrop Heath! :)

[@HumancityJunction]

Thanks, Bill at Larc does a great job.

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Looks amazing! 💯 Did you phone in the audio?

[@HumancityJunction]

John, LOL, it was not phoned in, but it does sort of sound like it.

[@PKWModelwerx]

That much wiring is intinidating and looks un-fun to me. But it's a braod shouldered hobby and I'm glad there are folks who find wiring a joy. Backdrop looks awesome and I have a bunch of LARC Prroduct CDs with building flats and lots of other stuff on them. Thanks for the video.

[@HumancityJunction]

Yeah, I really enjoy the wiring, but I am not very interested in the thought of doing the scenery and structures. Like you said, luckily there are others that love that part of the hobby.

[@tanzj]

Nice looking backdrop Heath. What did it cost? Happy New Year….John

[@HumancityJunction]

John, I believe it was around $100. That included the photoshop work to combine the images.

[@tanzj]

@@HumancityJunction thank you 😊
