The primary scenic element here is the backdrop. Most of the staging yard tracks (all two of them!) will be screened from view by a line of trees, bushes etc... a modified version of "Screened Staging" I used on a prior layout.
Yesterday I dug out the backdrop paints and got a start on the backdrop behind the staging yard.
At first I didn't like how "flat" the mid ground (tan) hill looked. So I experimented with adding some additional texture - you can see it if you look closely at the center of the hill in the photo below. Now I have to add that texturing to the rest of the hillside.

It looks great!
Where is the staging yard on the track plan? Along the back wall?
I like it. Much better!

The staging yard is on the right hand side wall shown on the Richford Branch trackplan. Essentially, I extended the CP Dummy track along the wall (and added a second staging track).
The entire back (top) wall track arrangement is changed from the trackplan - see this post for an example of what the old staging looked like, and what it looks like today -

I really need to get an update to that section of the track plan.
Thanks Marty. I didn't think that it was on the back wall, but couldn't figure out the changes on the rh wall
