Cotton Factory Parking and Stuff

Somewhere someone had used small grit sandpaper for a parking lot or highway.  There just happened to be a couple of sheets of 1500 grit in grey sitting around the shop, so why not try it out.  After cutting the paper to rough size, a parking space template was measured and cut out.  It can be used for 90 degree parking or 60 degree parking.

 The latter seemed appropriate for the Cotton Factory and the cars fit pretty well.

With a little Elmer's glue on the back, the sandpaper was placed on the layout.  Looks pretty good to me.

Granted, a cotton factory would need a LOT more cars to keep running in the prototype, but we're just representing. . . .   Oh, and notice the fire escape and "weathering" on the factory, itself.  Wow!

Took some time to re-glue some of the fence (particularly the top line), add a couple more trees to the backyard forest area (the white glue gives it away for right now), and add some cork to place the last manual turnout switch.  

Will need to come back when glue is dried to add switch as well as some sort of transition from highway to Cotton Factory parking lot.  Manana is soon enough for me.
