Neville Island now has about 50% of its track complete and I created some cardboard mock-ups of the buildings on the western end. With some spray paint, these were decent stand-ins for the MCR convention. It also helps get an idea of how things will look prior to building the actual structures.

| The grey buildings in the background are Dravo. Foreground building is Lee C. Moore and back right is Vulcan Detinning. | This is Vulcan Detinning. The two curved turnouts are both 15-18 inch radius (#9 frogs). | Another view of Vulcan Detinning. Lee C. Moore to the left. | The backside of Dravo and Vulcan Detinning. |

| Dravo Light Metals in the background and the main Dravo building up front. Pittsburgh Gear will be the siding to the left. | I probably put close to 40 hours into this pair of switches and the curved crossing. I took time, but I am happy with the results. | Dravo on left. Lee C. Moore in the middle. In the back are two buildings (red) that I just put out to fill space. They won't be used here. | Neville Chemical and USS Chemical on the left. Shanango Coke plant in the background. The coke works was built by Bob Clark. The chemicla plant was built by Lloyd Heck. I am happy that they both have a home on my layout. |
