Hi Tom --
Thanks. But no. There is just far too much to do in my life at the moment.

I decided what to do at Laramee. The original intention was just a basic but large yard plus loco depot to allow big power to haul big (well, in the model Trainz context) consists around the layout.
But having go thus far it seemed better to give the whole layout some operational potential. So on the layout there are two mines, a log camp, a dry sort yard and a stock yard. At Laramee there is now a MoW yard, workshop, saw mill, minerals tippler, stock holding yard, a steamship wharf and a railroad barge ferry.
Saw mill bottom left, workshop middle left, barge ferry and MoW top right:
Foreground, left to right, minerals tippler, steamship wharf, stock holding:
And also the texturing undercoat, RRM Gravel 03 (middle setting) under water, HP-Sand series 04 (maximum setting) for the ground:
The ground undercoat looks uniform and repetitive because I no longer use texture rotation. I'll add several more un-rotated texture to give the final effects.
It's turning out reasonably well. A lot better than I originally anticipated.
