    I need some ideas for a T-Trak module that our club is building. We have a sheet of fabric with an aluminum foil backing that we are experimenting with. You shape the landforms with it and then cover it in plaster. I would like to use that on this module, so I am trying to come up with ideas revolving around that. I have green scenery materials, so I am leaning more towards an Appalachian mountains theme of some kind. I want to show off this new material, which means no "Plywood Pacific" flat modules. I don't have a lot of sand material so I want to stay away from more rugged terrain like the Rocky Mountains. I want to keep costs down since this is a test module, so I'm not sure about big buildings or kits or anything like that. I have some styrene I could scratch build some things with, maybe a PRR catenary? What do you guys think I could do in a square foot?

    12 inches long by 14 inches deep. The track takes up about 4-5 inches on the front.
