Woodland Scenics Subterrain Scenery Kit (S929)
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, July 28, 2005 6:29 AM
Has anyone used this before? I'm just wondering if it is worth it, I'm just curious to see how the Woodland Scenics does their layouts. Assuming I'm a beginner at scenics and stuff.

They have a manual and a video that may help. I have used parts of the Subterrain System, but haven't used it entirely as my only approach. I started my layout before I had heard of the Subterrain system. If starting over, I don't think I would use the system exclusively. I have my own methods I've used over the years and prefer. Still, it is a slick system. Some things, like easy access to trains and tracks in tunnels, don't seem to be sufficient. Also, except for small layouts, I wonder how cost effective it is.

The videos are great. My LHS loaned them to me. The kits looked fun, but I wanted to work on the real pike. I use parts of the system, but its pretty expensive for a layout larger than 4x8 and is hard to make large elevation changes. If you ask specific questions you will get much good experince being shared.
If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art
