The title says it all, examples are in the video. Ken Patterson was right, of course...

Last evening I received an email informing me that my channel with 200k views is going to be demonetized because viewers aren't watching the channel enough. Granted I don't post there much as I use the JaSM channel. But my point is, this channel flew under the radar for a long time.
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS
I am asking the MHR community for some help in solving a problem I created with my choice of layout scenery. My layout was originally conceptualized 25 yrs ago as a much smaller layout with no intention of adding a backdrop or anything like that. I started this current version with the old idea then expanded it because I had the room to do so. Although I do plan on adding a backdrop at some point, I didn't take this into consideration when I stuck with the basics of how I originally thought the scenery would look.
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART VII
When I last posted I had just completed adding rocks to the newest section of my layout. I flew to CA for vacation on 12/27 and am still here now in LA on business until Feb. Of course that means I don't get to work on the layout but before I left I took a few more photos to share after I had colored all the remaining white plaster with Woodland Scenics earth pigment. It really makes a huge difference. Even without grass or trees the layout starts to look more realistic.

First off, I've modeled in HO, N, and large scale over the life of my modeling career. Without further ado, here is my rambling and thoughts.
Hello group,
I've been following Gene's blog for a few years now about his adventures into P48 and thought I would join this group and get some ideas/opinions.
Michigan Southern in V-Scale
I've been hammering away at a representation of the Michigan Southern in Trainz:A New Era for about a year. Here, the MSO 907, a GP9 I commissioned from Jointed Rail, runs westbound from Sturgis to White Pigeon, crossing Klinger Lake Road.
