Our PBS station has been showing "Great Scenic Rail Journeys" the last couple of weeks. So far, my favorites have been the Rocky Mountaineers (Canadian Rockies), the Western Maryland scenic tours, and the Royal Gorge tour in CO.
The WM tour showed the city of Cumberland, with a panoramic view of the city as the train winds over a river via curved girder bridge, with various elevations of roads and RR tracks, and the city itself and spectacular green mountains in background. I instantly imagined modeling this, though it would take some skills, but the result would be paradise on a pike. Does anyone know of any model railroader (in any scale) that has built a version of Cumberland?
