The logging camp takes shape.

The Lumber camp being located in a back corner of the layout will be built on a platform and then installed. All of the structures were arranged first and then the spar tree was put in place. A few minor moves and it all seemed to fall into place. Because a water tank was located on the hill, the bath house/latrine was move right below it. One of the bunk houses was elevated for a better visual effect. There's very little flat ground in nature so the more levels the better. Piping from the tank to the bath house, boardwalks, stumps, people and other details will complete the scene. When this diorama is finished and installed the background will be touched up to match the new scenery. The foreground river and scenery will be added and the trestle will be built and installed. Only then can the main and branch lines be added in front of this scene.

Horses deliver the logs to the spar tree. 

The bath house repositioned under the water tank.
