Sure. The track pattern has to remain the same, or somewhat similar, given the set pieces of track you get, but no one says you have to make a great green forested area for the layout, the whole thing can be made a desert scene if you wish. You'll probably need additional scenery materials than come in the box if you make a major change, as the supplied materials are designed to make it look as pictured. You can elminated the mountain and tunnel if you want, or possibly move it to a different part of the layout - anything you want, really.

Does anyone know if you can use the Atlas River Pass track pack but change the scenery a little to your own thoughts using the woodlandscenics sub terrain system
