I have seen a couple of examples in print of snow on layouts that are quite excellent, and I would love to know if that is the method they used. On the very last page of the Nov. 02 MR (the Along the Line feature)is a scene from D. Tagsold's D&RGW which looks quite good. Whatever he used, it sure doesn't look like it could be secured....looks so nice and fluffy. Maybe its just done so well that it is that deceiving to the eye. Or perhaps that shot was taken on a temporary diorama which doesn't actually see operation so it didn't need to be secured. There is also a photo which I believe is the best looking snow on a model railroad that I've ever seen in print....I can't for the life of me find it right now, but I know it placed in MR's annual photo contest sometime in recent years, and they sometimes still show it in a little inset when they are advertising for the next contest. It shows a train approaching in rural area with blue sky and bright sunshine, power lines crossing the scene with excellent looking heavy frost on them, and a path through the snow to some mailboxes near the tracks. The way the snow along the path has seemingly been shoveled or kicked up looks so convincing I have marveled many times at the photo, amazed again that the snow was somehow modeled. If anyone knows which one I'm talking about and has an idea how it was done, I would be very appreciative for the shared information. <br />
