Multi-lap scenery, an open discussion

[2-8-2]

I think line of sight is extremely important in these matters. It's much easier to lose the feeling of reality while in "bird's eye" view of a layout as we stand next to and look down on the scenery and tracks. Therefore, the most obvious solution is to raise the benchwork as close to eye level as possible. This presents new problems in one's ability to easily build and work on the layout, but it can still be done.

The next thing is to create view blocks in the form of hills and buildings to distract the eye from the obvious. Use scenery to break things up so that it doesn't appear like everything is running together.
