IronRooster mentioned tracks being laid on ice during WW2 - I know that the frozen Lake Ladoga near Leningrad/St Petersburg was used during the winter of 1941-2 to bring supplies to the town which was under siege by Nazi German forces. A roadway was cleared for convoys of trucks/lorries, but I don't think railroad tracks were laid. But the idea is fascinating and this would be easy to model! <br />My Z layout is very much at the beginning stage but I intend having a double line running through nothing but woods. I tried making trees from dried sedum flower heads as described in September's Model Railroader and they turn out so well with so little effort that I'll have a miniature forest around my urban area. I've already decided to scratch build an imaginary town which could have been built - all the structures will be representative of the International/Funtionalism style of architecture. Three reasons - I like it, the undecorated surfaces are easier to model in Z scale, and the buildings suit any era starting from about 1930, so I can run pre-war steam or 21st Century trains without having the surroundings look out of character. I haven't seen a similar thing done before - my purist, white city in the forest!
