Hi, I have seen a good many steam era layout sand modern industrial pikes well crafted and wearhered. The thing that has struct me over the years several times is how dull and dingy a few of these look. Granted ,coal opperations are a dirty and grimey industry. Steam is like wise grime y but my point is that amoung the old and declining shops, homes and RR structures some would be new, others repainted. One other point foilage and trees seem dull and sort of dying. Living in the coal fields of W Va all my life I have seen many towns and camps and even though quite depressed looking, the trees and weeds ect., are brilliant green all summer, the water is green to clear often and even in the camps along the lines and sidings it is nice. Take a lesson from the twice HO guys and put in some color.[:)] Just something to thenk about. [img]http://www.cassrailroad.com/cassmain.jpg[/img]
