If you read one person's approach to backdrops thread further down in the layout posts, you will see why I choose Faller's. I also posted this thread here to answer some of the critics critique of commercial backdrops. Faller's isn't that popular in North America. Fortunately for me, the Walther's catalogue pictures of the backdrop sucks so very few have used it. So what I have posted here will be a first time see for most modeller's. Now to be honest I did question whether I should show Faller's and maybe contribute to its popularity.... lol... and thus it becoming more recognizable, but I don't really see that as a problem. I have been visiting and examining the backdropwarehouse stuff for about three years now and I'm quite familiar with it. Sometimes I do spot it in some of the MR published layouts, but it still looks good to me. I notice bad backdrop more than good backdrop. Once I have track laid and scenery in, anyone recognizing this as Faller's who is operating at my place will soon forget about it and get into the trains. It won't be crying out as bad backdrop. The scenes are almost completely generic. The mountains on the bottom level look very much like an area here in greater Vancouver called the Chilliwack Valley. They also look very similiar to the Cascades in the state of Washington. The upper level is rolling hills heading towards mountains that you will find on the eastern side of the American and Canadian Rockies; also in some areas of British Columbia and Washington. There is some buildings in the pics, but they appear about a "mile" off in the distance seperated by a field. So scale isn't a problem, they work in HO or N.
