Rob has added a field to be plowed by a draft horse, parts of Sherman’s Crossing being in a more primitive rural area. Rocks were added around portions of the field for interest.
A road from the field has been added to go past the plot for the future chicken coop. After that it will either go to the farm house or the main drive, as yet to be determined.
Note: Materials were still drying when these photos were taken.

Rob has also added a pond. The water was created using Woodland Scenics realistic water. The bottom of the pond was painted black in the middle with lighter green and ocher tones along the sides.
Not seen in this photo is the “foliage” which looks like underwater growth, added under the surface. Reeds around the edge were made from pieces snipped from a cinnamon broom.
The contrast between the bank and the water is not as pronounced when viewed in person. The flash gave it this appearance in the photo.
Rob notes that the train room “smells really nice now.”
