| Before Don arrived, my first step was to project the photos I had taken in December of 2012, when the drought level of Dillon Reservoir had receded enough to expose Dickey. |
 |
| I also projected an image I had made from Google Earth. I was amazed at how closely the two images compared! I then traced the images onto the entire backdrop. |
 |
| Don then worked his magic paint brushes, and the results make it feel like standing in Dickey a hundred years ago. |
 |
| Here, Don does his most favorite thing in the world, Lol. We took the suggestion of Mike Danneman, and started by painting the backdrop the same color as used for the scenic base. |
 |
| The same procedure of projecting slides was used for the entire backdrop. |

| The completed south end of Dickey. |
 |
| With the backdrop finished, its time to get this train rolling, and start on some real scenery. |
