New Addition to Layout - Farmington

I recently expanded my layout to include the extension to the location of where Southern Pacific's Stockton Yard (Stockton Staging) is going to be.  This segment is comprised of a small removable access bridge between the SP side of Oakdale Junction and the area of Farmington.  This bridge is approximately three feet in length and is removable so that easy access can be made into the walking areas of the garage.

Farmington Section

The next portion is of the small rural community of Farmington.  The Farmington section is built on a wood frame that is about two feet wide and four feet long.  There is a switch that leads to a relatively short siding.  As of this post, I have not decided on which industry should be located at this siding.  I am leaning toward a small stock yard that has spots for two stock cars.  There is going to be a dirt road going across the main line.  There will be a small gas station, a church and a general store.  In the background there will be a farm house and windmill.

After Farmington, the track curves toward the right and SP trains will enter the staging yard representing Stockton.  This yard will have five staging tracks to hold the various SP trains I plan to run over the layout during operating sessions.

I used two photo backdrops of a tree covered hill depicting a fall scene for the Farmington section.
