Many moons ago (1950-ish) there was a layout plan in MR inspired by a railfan's view of the then-Western Pacific route through the Feather River Canyon. I glued the sequential paper sections with a giant glue tube.The entire scene is only 4 inches deep,and,( I feel), is quite convincingĪnyone who has looked at the BNSF route across Northern Arizona can tell you that it's entirely possible to have 20 full-scale miles of double tracked main devoid of anything except signal masts and relay cases, supporting a massive number of long trains in both directions. For the upper sky I had flat paint mixed that matched the blue color of the sky on the photos. The background is a section of the SceniKing 7"x11" photo of distant hills (which is part of the continuoius series of photos surrounding my around the room layout. The following scene shows how to produce "forced perspective" (of the Western Maryland area), The front train is HO scale and the train on the raised roadbed, (directly behind it), is N scale. Then click left or right photos on the series of three pictures (in the upper right), to view other scenes of my, rather large, HO layout.
The following scene combines a river gorge, and highway and train bridges, in a mountainous region of my layout.Click on the photos to enlarge them. I highly recommend Joe Fugate's DVDs on scenery and the oje on layouts. Kalmbach has several good books on layout design for cramped space layouts. Following is a photo of a layout that I just designed for a modeler on Forums. Atlas Model Railroad Layouts on the Internet shows many good layout ideas.
