C. Midland started a thread about the demise of the cottage industry guys that serve our hobby. This thread gives rise to the question as to how important is scenery to you and your layout?
For us, scenery is a huge factor that enhances the enjoyment of the hobby. Let's use the theatrical community as an example. You go to a play and on stage are just the actors. No backdrops, no scenery, no nothing put the actors. They may be the most eloquent of their lot, but boring!!! But add to the play backdrops, scenery, and props and you have a lot more interest. Our trains are the actors and without scenery, they can get boring as well.
Beautiful trains deserve a beautiful setting and that is created be scenery.
What's your take.
