The Sky is Blue

The walls (and ceiling) behind the layout are now blue. Yes, it would have been easier to do this prior to building the layout, but at this stage it still wasn't a big deal to slide it out of the way. The color is Benjamin Moore Caribbean Mist. For now I decided not to paint the wall with the doorway that is perpendicular to the layout, but I might change my mind about that later. I also need to make some kind of cover for the thermostat. A freight car box with one end cut off fits nicely over it, but I think something more rounded would look better.

I took some of the buildings from my old layout out of storage and put them on the new layout. The row of storefronts will be continuous, so I will need a few more to fill the gap.
