Eastern style forest & steep ridges

[ezdays]

Here we have another classic tutorial from Tyson Rayles first posted back in June, 2002. Gee, that was around a half-year before I came on the scene :o and already he was teaching techniques that are as pertinent today as they were then. This is why we asked him if we could repost the entire thread here.
Thank you kind sir for your contributions to The Gauge and Big Blue and to model railroading in general, as well as for your everlasting friendship.
