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
the Indiana State Fairgrounds.  There are three train loops and the lower two
can run independantly or be switched to connect with the rest of the club's
layout.
I've still got a lot of details to add however here's what's done so far:

It's big, it's cool, and there's lots to like. The roadway and parking lot, for
example are really neat. Always glad to see people building mountains.

Spotlighted!

I have a couple of bones to pick though...

Water isn't blue. I think it's much more effective to do water with clear or
transblue elements...

Snow on top? I think this tends to make mountains look "Disneyish", even with
selective compression our mountains are NEVER big enough to have a distinct,
visible snow line... That sort of line tends to only be visible at much farther
distances. This mountain isn't high enough to justify snow at the top and non
snow at the bottom.

Why is a "Disneyish" bad?  You make it seem that non-real world accurate scene
elements are bad and should never be modelled.  I like the look of a
"Disneylike" exaggerated scene, maybe that's why I like the Disney parks so
much.
