Over The Edge Scenery

You can give your layout extra dimension by taking scenery over the edge - the edge of the layout that is. The article shows three photos of how to treat the edge of the layout other than the usual Masonite board. One is to use wooden supporting timbers, complete with nut-bolt-washer castings. Another is to use rock outcroppings, and the last one shows what a rock wall will look like.
