QUOTE: Originally posted by CNJ831 My impression is about the same as Trainnut's - rather too much track and not enough room for supporting "scenery" (industries and reasons for the RR to be there in the first place). A depth of just 12" is too shallow, even totally without any trackage, to create a believable dense urban scene. It is very difficult to model a major downtown urban scene (where you're likely to find a station as large as you plan) without a minimum of three layers of structures
