This seems simple enough, but it really blew my mind ... thinking there has to be some way to use this on a model railroad?

Hey all,

Last night I was able to "finish" a scene on the Great River Railway Club layout last night and thought I'd share a before and after picture of the area. What blew my mind, was that it only took about a month to do this scene. (BTW, come check us out on Facebook for more pictures and progress)

So anywho, here's the Before:

So I completed another puzzle, Autumn Ride which is a Famous Artist Collection puzzle. This puzzle is of a nice farm scene which I thought I might be able to use on my Grants Pass Western railroad. I scanned, reduce the picture size and cut out the parts I wanted to use. As the trees were of an autumn scene, the trees and sky had to go as well as the bottom part which was going to be out of scale. I also cut out the pond on the left hand side.

Down below the bridges at Hanging Rock is a deep, serpentine defile known to the locals as Horse Thief Canyon. It's a classic Southwestern "slot" canyon, much narrower than it is wide; the kind often found worming back into the sandstone cliffs of Thunder Mesa country. This particular slot canyon is about 72 scale feet deep but only averages about 12' wide. A perfect hideout for horse thieves and rustlers - as long as it isn't flash flood season.
