Yes, this scene was also on the cover of the January 1997 MR, minus the foreground trees:

Here is a panoramic photo of this area of the layout, also from about the same time, circa 1997. You can see there's lots of bare spots here and there in the scenery. I pointed the camera to the right of the scene to get the end of the bridge with the trees:

Just recently, I've gone back in and added lots more trees and vegetation in the bare spots, finally getting this area closer to its final look. [swg]

Nice job Joe, I suddenly feel like walking through a forest somewhere and coming up on a mainline and seeing a freight train go thundering through!!

Nothing less than spectacular, Joe. The Doug firs are phenomenal, and the trestle and abuttment are Grade A-1. I suppose you'll now tell us that it is all in about 25" square [:-,]

I thought I'd share a recent photo of some new scenery on my HO Siskiyou Line with you ...


Slater Creek trestle on my Coos Bay coast branch. (click to enlarge)

This is located in the Oregon coast mountain range, and now finally, has the foreground scenery looking like I've been envisioning it to look, with that "deep in the Douglas firs" forest look.

I'll post more photos later on ... [swg]
