They say no model railroad is ever finished, and now that I've reached a level of "done-ness" in East Berlin, I can attest to the fact that you can Always Add More.
So yes, I have a lot more I want to do here - including adding trees, people, details, more scenery texture, a new concrete loading dock - but I think for now it's time to move on and try and get the rest of the layout up to at least this level.
Cuz it's certainly nicer to watch a train go through even rudimentary scenery rather than over plywood and foam.
Before I leave East Berlin though, I thought it'd be fun to pause and take stock of how far it's come since I started the scenery last August.
Enjoy!
(PS: if you're at Springfield tomorrow and happen to see me, please be sure to stop me and say "hi!")
Chris, East Berlin now looks very nice indeed. It has become a small time machine.

I'm sure you have seen this collection, but I just rediscovered it in trying to see the routing of the line between Berlin and East Berlin, which the building of the Berlin Turnpike severed in 1940:
