The MR article by Lou Sassi about the 4'x8' layout with snow one side was the December 1992 issue. It had a great snow scene on one side with a frozen pond and a nice autumn scene on the other side with a small town. I have been thinking of building this layout in N scale. Has anyone built this layout and have photos, or does MR have more photos they can share?

I seem to recall a few years back where someone used baking soda to simulate snow, the photos were very convincing. After he took the shots he vacumed it up.
