I just recently watched a few of the videos from Joe Fugate’s series available from http://model-trains-video.com on scenery design, and I learned a lot of techniques that I’ll be applying to my layout.

The two that I really liked were the Painless Backdrops and Basic Terrain. It’s really given me ideas on how to to expand my cliff wall scene on my lower level to throughout the entire level, using a painted mounted backdrop scene and some subtle terrain build ups. The backdrop ridge, excellent idea two. I could go on and on, heh.

I downloaded individual videos in HD Format to my computer, so I can watch segments pertaining to my layout (ie: I don’t have trestle bridge so I didn’t need that segment). There are various download formats at different prices if your PC can’t handle HD video. There are also many more videos available on DVD as well. So check ‘em out!
