    so, getting back on track here,
    a couple more progress pics.
    The large rock formation had grass planted on top at first, i didn't think it looked right so covered it to look like a large rock formation.
    Also covered more area. The gray strip will be turned into a rock surface as well.

    Same for this rock formation, it had grass on top at first too.
    The next two areas (upper and lower) will have a water feature in them, which i am a total noob at. So trying to decide if I do water first, or terrain first. Or maybe it doesn't matter.

    Fun fact. trains were made to transport people and goods from one place to another across the country.
    Yours just loops around in circles for no apparent reason.
    No wonder godzilla wants to smash it.
    I am disappoint.

    Fun fact, those trains transporting people and goods around the country...are making a big loop. The Rawhide Express makes a loop every other day, delivering coal, to provide power for the western half of the grid, to enable you to type such nonsense .

    I have garden scale trains that smoke and have the chuff sound.
    If the "N" scale trains smoke, it's usually just the one time.

    Maybe if you made the thing so that it could haul you a beer from the fridge (enabling YOU to type such nonsense) I could see your point.
    As it is, I just see useless little circles.
    Any way to torture the cat with it? I'd sign off on that as useful too, provided of course that you posted sufficiently entertaining video.

    This poll is more accurate than any of the presidential ones were.

    Lots of green happening here, That will change as more is added. I like to start with a good base first though.

    Might try to model water today.

    You live in Colorado. Look out your window.

    Do you see grass on the peaks of the mountains?
