Well, I am pretty sure I am going to build it without foam
If I am not mistaken, Mal's CSX Palmetto spur was built without foam, and it is one of the best looking layouts I have ever seen.
I don't want this project to get bogged down waiting to get foam, then carve it, then paint it, and so on, Nor do I want to rush, but I think that doing scenery and adding details will take quite awhile, I expect this layout to only last a couple of years, and that is about the time it will take to do all of the scenery and details.
As I am building a "Generic Prototype" I will not be deciding on one single place to model, If my landscape is to flat, I can simply move Liberty to the mid-west or south-west were it is flatter.
