I really like the scenic changes described in the article.  I was never a fan of the Mt. Allen scene, as it always seemed hokey and out of place.  The current scene fits the layout much better.  The revisions at Bedford Falls are equally impressive and again help that area to "feel" more appropriate for the F&SM's regional theme.  Simple, realistic scenes almost always look better to me than overly dramatic ones, and I think this article does a fine job illustrating the principle.

It's always a treat to see more of George's layout. And every time a change is made it always seems to be a good decision to improve an already fantastic layout.
