Indoor or Outdoor?
Portable Cameo?
Detailed or Broad-Brush?
Purpose
Purpose
- Viewing 'live' ? (in which case, it needs to be raised to wherever eye level is)
- A 'fim set' ? for photographs and videos

Extent
Extent
- Is every point of the railway to be fully Landscaped? (Tall Order)
- Or could there be special Viewpoints or Cameos within a larger railway?
- Or could most of it be Landscaped, apart from hidden 'fiddle yards'?

If you are fed up with seeing my favourite shots over again, please email-in your own :-)
