Guys,
With the new branch line adjacent to the upper main line, which goes under the Cross Timbers bridge, scenery will have to be worke on eventually. Because the branch is also relatively close to an industrial area with sidings, I propose we develop a scenery block so these two sceens can be separated by a viewer. I suggest we create a low hill & cut for the branch before it goes under Cross-Timbers tressle.
I thought it would be a good idea to find some images of what I think we make the sceen around Cross Timbers look like.
See the link below:
http://www.wwvrailway.com/images/CSPacrosscanyon_small.jpgThe home page for that image shows a sceen that looks like our bridge surrounded by low hills like we should be targeting.
The cut shown would be for the lower branch line however - but you get the idea.
Here's another image we could use (diffent place):

I think we should discuss this project so we use the best of the best ideas that come up.
