Working on the railroad.....

 Some changes today on the layout as I'm getting things changed up a bit and adding a few more things before I submit the layout for publication.

Today I extended the siding to actually go into the fuel and oil dealer so as to free up the track along the runs behind Stephen's Grocery distributor as the mainline. The other end of the layout where the scrapyard is on the short wall will go a flat background building.

For today's project I moved a few fences and structures to accommodate the extended siding. Cork was put down then a section of flex track, then ballast. Now I'm able to also get two tank cars into the siding. Photos below:
