You're seriously going for a snow effect Al?

That's quite ambitious and if the effects come together it'll be very impressive.

I think I'll keep my eye on this one sir!

I quite like the idea of snow on a layout too, but my tastes change with the seasons. In spring I like the idea of a layout set in May. In autumn, I like the idea of one set in October. Until someone integrates Holodeck-style technology into a model railway format to simulate the four seasons, I think I'm snookered!

Definitely ballast, then give the ballast a light covering of snow. On a busy line the snow is likely to get melted or blown off with trains passing

I know what you mean Al. I think you've gone for a good compromise though.

I doubt I could pull that effect off convincingly in 14' by 8' though!

I like the Idea of the snow Barry, Ive seen alot of continental layouts at shows that feature snow and they look superb!! However, i have yet to see a British snow covered layout. Ive had a go at sprinkling my own layout with a bit of modelling snow and I think it looks Ok so far and fits in nicely this time of year shame i didn't think of the idea over the festive period

keep up the good work mate.

Max - this one is 12x11 which is not too far off 14 x 8 in area terms, is it?Magic: I like your snow scene, very nice! Did you glue the Woodland Scenics snow down, or just let it lie?

Barry- I just sprinkled it on as it won't be a permanent feature of the layout, although it does look very 'festive'

I love this concept of different modules and the chance to model all sorts of different seasons or landscapes with out having to commit t a whole layout. I think you might start a new trend here and one that I might pinch when I have a bit more space.
