Wind and rain on the layout

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I've seen a layout that sort of went for this. it was based on some ATSF line (i'm not to good with western roads), but bascially, the back drop was of an angry thunder cloud in the distance, and lightning strikes would flash down occaisionally. it was really impressive, the lightning looked real when it flashed. I can't seem to find it, but its on you tube somewhere. I've seen some other attempts at storms, including a module with a black fascia over hang, using cotton to make clouds and putting a strobe feature in, followed by the thunder clap. there were no streaks of lightning, but it didn't look bad.
