That is a great forest, Daan.
Frank, it is scary to see those great post-war engines go around those curves. This looks like a dumb question: How do you know the trains are safe and not going to fall? Did you pre-run them especially on the curves before you finalized things?

Daan:
Those scenes are excellent. I am struggling with foliage and trees. I don't have a knack for it. Yours look very real.
Doug:
Yes, the bridges are a bit scary looking. I have run some trains in full-tilt boogie mode around both and they are very sturdy. However, as much as I hate to, I will probably be scrapping both of those bridges. On the one which is stained, I made the mistake of making the bents too upright. I need a wider base and I am going to rebuild this according to a new plan with a broader base, angles sides and a walkway at track level.
@Frank, you don't need to scrap those bridges because of a base being too small, in real life, they used sometimes extra beams angular to the structure to give extra basewidth.
