In this episode, I am spending my time creating a new mountaintop, adding undercoat paint, and ground cover, as well as some mine entrances and a surprise track element.
Building the Mountaintop
Using Woodland Scenics Plaster Cloth, and some water, I build up the base of the mountaintop. Again, with some Woodland Scenics Burnt Sienna, and Earth Green Undercoat paint, I liberally coat the white areas for prep, before adding ground cover. Mine Shaft Entrances
From Woodland Scenics (I swear I am not sponsored!), I found a pair of Culvert Moulds, and built them to be my mine shaft entrances. Using some Woodland Scenics Burnt Umbre, and some Vallejo Mahogany Brown Paint for the basic colours, I also added a later Black Wash for some weathering. Beginning Ground Cover on the mountaintop!
Using Woodland Scenics Coarse Ground Cover: Light Green, Medium Green, and a Burnt Grass colour, i coated the ground. Around the mine entrances, I used some sand, too. A spray of thinned scenic glue was used to keep it all in place. Kadee Logging Caboose
I found a small caboose, to use as the base of operations for the Mining Spur. I built the Model, and added some paint.

Forgive some of the ODD titles in the video and odd chaptering... I needed to reconcile the old and new numbering system:
• Ch. 6 Tracking Into Trees
• Ch. 5 Tracking Into The Lake
• Ch. 4 tracking Around Pilgrim Lake
• Ch. 3 Tracking Into The Tunnel
• Ch. 2 Tracking Up The Rocks and Mountains
• Ch. 1 Tracking Up The Mountain Pass
• Ch. B Tracking Back To Nirvana
• Ch. A Tracking Back To Childhood
