What does "Under The Trees" mean?

Sometimes people put model trains running around their christmas trees and I think this is what it is.

Hi all, thanks for asking. As usual, you guys are free to be as creative as you like. It could be legit Model Railroadz under a giant Christmas tree, but I didn't specifically say that, so it could be something like this instead.

Or anything really. Have fun!

Here's a T class that just came out of a tunnel that went under a load of trees, does that count?

I want to say this. When me and nicky were thinkin of ideas and this came up, we werent all that sure how to go with it. I was originally thinkin like a under a the christmas tree type thing. But there are no christmas trees big enough for that.

So I guess since were using this topic. Pictures of trees completely surrounded and covered by trees like a canopy are what you want. The top pics do a good job of capturing this.

I remember downloading a christmas tree layout when i was new to the DLS. If i could remember the name, I would. The trains ran on circular platforms that resembled a christmas tree.

Keep calm and try to remember,

How is you grid so dark?

Time of day is set to 17:35 in Startup options. Early morning or evening settings considerably change the ground colour temperature and object shading.

On a freight charter, the Durbin and Greenbrier's Moore Keppel Climax 3 Stops near the end of track at a particularly weedy section under some oaks near a switch stand as the track gets closer and closer to Cass. The river can be seen in the backround at right curving around behind the train (look for the treeless area.)

Enjoy this late summer early fall under the trees picture.

P.S. For more information this route and some other ideas, see my thread " Saturnr's Route ". I intend to do some work to this route and others and any collaboration on some of the larger ones would be great!

The older sister was so excited to get a bicycle that she peddled madly around and underneath the Christmas tree with her siblings watching on. All were oblivious to whom popped the pressies there. There really is a Santa!




Merry Christmas everybody!

Why is the christmas tree outside? Anyway, heres mine. The train IS under a tree, there are vines on the walkway above it. I think so industrially that it is the most nature I can do! :hehe:

Why is the christmas tree outside?

Because the family decorated the tree that is growing outside.
