i am new to this hobby and want to build a terrain layout.are these woodland scenics kits recommended.does anyone have any experience with them?i have built rc boats and airplanes so i am not new to slow tedious projects.

I helped the grandson's art teach build one about 8 years ago. Not hard at all. Directions come with the kit.

I have used one of them to make Rocks. Easy to use and quick. I do not like there website. The videos are not much help.

the grand valley layout.can it support passenger trains?18 " radius.

Maybe the "old timers" but nothing much larger than that.

I use a minimum 24"r when ever possible. There are a few smaller radii but none that would be greater than about 60 degrees. When the passenger trains are on my layout, I try, try being the operative word here, to keep them on the 30" and larger radius lines. Definitely slow them down on the tighter turns.
