Owensville Terminal Micro Layout - Update 2

I'm creating backdrops for the Owensville Terminal Micro using 1/8" hardboard (Masonite) panel and oil paints to create an autumn scene. Nothing fancy or a lot of details needed to create depth in the scene. There are three panels for the OT Micro. The rear panel is dry, but the other two will need another seven to ten days to dry to the touch. 

Rear panel 

Left panel 

Right panel 

Rear panel mounted to baseboard
(paint is dry to the touch) 

Rear and left panel propped up against the baseboard
(paint still wet at this stage) 

I still need to add additional scenery details, but the layout is almost finished.
