Prototype view of the UP's Pool Yard looking west. By: Joe Atkinson

In-progress model view. I still have to add static grass once I finish S. 16th St. to the east of this scene (behind me in the photo), scratchbuild the UP yard tower, and add backdrop photos and trees along the backdrop to the left. The old Tyco(?) yard tower of my youth in the second photo obviously won't be staying (though I think the upper portion will be kitbashed into a control room for a nearby abandoned cement plant in the coming months). As can be seen in the Google Maps image of this scene at http://goo.gl/maps/12B0d , the angle of the grade crossing has changed since my prototype photo, and the switch at the east end of the third track from the left, what the UP calls "Old RI", has been restored.
