Not much progress to report...I have realized that the "Northwest" area where the loops will be is just not enough real estate to fit an old fashioned logging camp based on the Grizzly Peak Recreational area at DCA. I have instead moved the Cascade Peak Station up to just about the start of the curve so I can move the train's overall stopped position up to not obstruct views of the gardens and small world in the background. I also removed a chunk of the horseshoe tunnel so I can have a small open air ravine/small canyon where the upper loop goes over a curved trestle and crosses over the lower main. Sigh, as for the logging camp now I will put that idea on the shelf until I can find space for it.
