I like cities, towns, mountains, mining, valley, and logging. There should have been an option for more than one choice.

Aren't valleys by the mountains? That way I can vote for two!

Let's see. I have a 4x8. On it, I have a town, mining town, desert and mountains.

And I guess it woulod be mountains, but loggin really should be added.

Well, the Yuba River Sub is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California, so it's pretty much a no-brainer for me. However I am installing a mining town right now, so that is definitely my alternate choice.

I voted for valley, but towns, seaports, farmland, foothills work for me also. I'll include the others when I build the Great Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in a large warehouse[:D]

Mountains, can't get enough of those! Especially with places near me like Banff!

I like quite a few of those. I really enjoy ports, mainly because they involve water[:D]

I'd rather have a layout with ten scale miles of running through the flatlands of the Midwest, than a layout with two miles of heavy industrial switching. Of course, I'd rather live there too!

I'm doing high desert. Not listed. There should also be allowances for multiple scenes like city and mountains.

I didin't vote.

Yes! (How's that for the short answer?)

They all have their place. All can be done well and I can get into any of them, although seaside is probably the most fun for me.
