The addition of a final turnout means the staging yard mods are now complete, including all wiring and testing. The train nearest my treasured Jethro Tull official tour mug is leaving the staging yard and venturing onto the layout proper - the mug denoting the transition between staging and scenery. The other train is heading for the return loop which will ultimately position it in the siding vacated by it's sibling, facing the right way for it's next turn of duty.
Shells of a few buildings on the right mark where the scenic area will finish. Although technically part of the staging yard, the far side of the tracks will be visible around the view-block and so will need to be presentable...
...although most of this sorry spectacle will be kept under wraps.
