I just finished work on a module depicting a BN engine refueling facility on one side of the two track main line and a series of row houses and light industry on the other.
Like all of the other module I’ve ever seen, the foliage present of this module (what little there was) was set either in spring bloom or summer.
However, during construction, I began to toy with the idea of building a module depicting one of BN northern lines with the scenery blanketed with snow and (reasonable) drifts pushed up along the sides of the track.
Since putting such a module in between “green” modules would appear silly, I’ve been thinking of a strategy to integrate a snowbound module into the club layout without appearing silly.
To accomplish this, I’ve been thinking about constructing a single track branch line off the main two track club layout which would climb about eight inches, bringing it from the height of an average mans upper belly to the height of his mid-chest, and slowly integrate snow and more evergreens into the modules as they climb. Once the modules reached their full height, there would be about a scale foot of snow.
Would such a change in weather look like the realistic result of a change I altitude or merely, in your opinions, look silly???
