Did I read that article correctly? Is David Barrow now making layouts with virtually no scenery? No ballast, etc.? Bright & shiny atlas code 100 track - on purpose? Bare plywood? I noticed a trend a few years back when he did a room sized layout in MR with his "domino" system - where his track was starting to not be ballasted very much. I have to say his CM&SF covered in 1989 or 1990 was one of the first layouts that made a huge impression on me. (Interestingly, he also pointed out in that article how correctly shaped ballast can greatly enhance a model railroad). What's going on here? I'm seriously surprised by intentional lack of scenery on a model railroad featured in a magazine. Did I miss something? (Again, his CM&SF is amazing - probably my favorite model railroad I've read about - which is why I'm left dazed & confused)
