 Nice list, Chuck - I agree that animation can enhance a layout, if it is adding to the train operation. I have seen many attempts to animate scenes, but found most of the motion to be too abrupt to look real.Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is a huge show layout (over 1 million visitors each year) and they are certainly the masters of animation, but even so, some of that stuff just does not look right. It is a bit like the trucks and cars we put on our roads - we spent a lot of time to detail and weather our locos and rolling stock, but put a $ 1.99 out of scale car on the street.Look at the introductory video from Miniatur Wunderland at:<a href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de/anlage/video/4-minuten-wunderland/" mce_href="http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de/anlage/video/4-minuten-wunderland/">http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de/anlage/video/4-minuten-wunderland/ </a>
