I think the three foot rule is certainly valid for alot of cases. If I were to put together an N-track module where people are standing behind a rope, then it would definitely apply for me. But for my small 2 1/2' x 5' layout, the viewing distances range from three feet to six inches, so I don't follow the rule for either my rolling stock or scenery. Such a small layout tends to invite closer scrutiny, especially when you start putting details into scenes, which draw the viewer in. <br /> <br />---jps <br />
