Mount Rushmore - Model Railroader Magazine


And now, a word from about the prototype.  The National Monument is a couple of ridgelines away from, and invisible from, anyplace that ever had rails.  To see both the mountain and a train at the same time you need to be in a helicopter.

To model that appropriately, the faces on the mountain need to be hidden behind a ridge, up against the bottom of the backdrop.  A little (!!!) selective compression might also be in order.
