Today I attempted to create a new route. It is of no particular location, but the scenery is based on the northeast. Here is the result of about 1.5 hours of work.

Enjoy. :D

Your route effort is looking very nice.

I think a module would be a fine thing to have. In Model Railroader, Tony Koester referrs to them as Layout Design Elements, but they have room here. Why try to build a hundred mile route the first night, why not one scene at a time?

It looks good from here.

A worthy approach. And a module, or layout design element, can always be expanded later. A lot can be packed into one or two tiles.
