Central becomes Centennial

In our last episode I reported on fence post installation. Since then the fencing - using the classic screen door mesh method - has been installed, a corn field - using Walthers corn - has been planted, streetcar stops have been installed, a cattle path to the pasture has been added, road markings and stops at the cattle and pedestrian crossings have been created, and an entry sign has been put up near the main road.

Ottawa's Central Experimental Farm is the inspiration for this layout. It's nowhere near an exact replica, so I felt a renaming was in order. The real Central Experimental Farm became the Centennial Experimental Farm with the fictional farm's core story being its streetcar service was reinstated as a 1967 Centennial project.

For the eagle-eyed there are a few TTC inspired touches I'll leave for the reader to identify :-)

    1. Thanks! I'm thinking it has maybe a year's worth of construction still left in it.
