Current
layout, the white paper is roads and future buildings.
I still need to build a few more buildings and a castle
modeled after Alnwich Castle which will be Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Step 1: glue down the styrofoam track, then I added the plaster cloth
to the track.
Step
2: glue on track bed and track
My
husband helped me cut out the 'mountain' so that I could
use it as a tunnel. Below is the partially refinished item.
This mountain piece is from the Department 56 series.

I've
started to fill in some of the landscaping, adding turf
and water to the lake, and a pathway up to the castle.
Go to buildings for closeups
of the 'castle'.

Also added an outer edge border.
The outer edge is landscaped and the ballast is done (needs
tidying up)
