Here's a sneak peek at the mountain module I'm making for IndyLUG/Central
Indiana LTC's display at this years Children's & Parents Expo Feb 19,20 & 21 at

Brian, That's a great mountain & layout. I can see kids' eyes popping and jaws dropping. It looks like you used some scale compression on the mountain slopes to make it appear taller - is that right? Try taking some pics from a kid's approximate eye (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
