Backdrop Reinstall in Progress on Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision Model Railroad

When we first built this model railroad, we thought it would be moved to another location in a few years. To make this planned relocation easier we install the photo-realistic backdrops with Velcro.

Ultimately, the relocation to another site was abandoned and over time the Velcro has started to cause problems. The only way to correct these problems is to remove the Velcro and glue the backdrops to the wall.

This is a tedious and somewhat scary project as a lot can go wrong trying to reach across a completed model railroad and rehang the backdrops like wallpaper.

This video is a short clip to show the start of the process. Stay tuned for much more as we rehang all of the backdrops.
