Very impressive PaulRhB! The Busch trees are suitably imposing...I would be tempted to model one having fallen over and squashing a car/house or blocking a path!

It's nice to see such a foul material as polystyrene forced against its will into charming alpine scenery! Do you use DCC and is the layout automated for exhibitions? How did you do the water in the stream?

Yes took a while to find any trees that big, I wanted trees to dwarf the trains as on the real thing.
The layout is analog with blocks as DCC wasn't a major thing when I started the layout over 5 years ago, it was a very slow build as the rest of life kept getting in the way!
I use DCC in HO, OO and G but apart from constant lights I can't see any particular advantage for this layout as the electrics are too quiet at the viewing distance for sound to be worthwhile. I do have sound running off cd's for the river and some other background sounds.
It's not automatic as you really need to drive the trains on those gradients and it's more fun.
Water is woodland scenics realistic water (not their EZ water as I found this cracks over time) and it does seem to disappear somewhere as there are two coats on so far and it's barely covering the gravel.
