Here is a 3d scale model of
the famous Animas River Highline section of the D&RG near Durango,
CO. The layout has two 4' x 8' sections and is using Z scale track. The
drawing was made by tracing a USGS topographic map of the area. Cadrail
10.0.2 Figure Terrain was used for the landscape. Trees are drawn using the
new Tree Symbols that automatically fit the terrain elevation.
It took the author approximately 20 hours to make this drawing using
Cadrail 10.0.2.
