Even better with lights.  Love the different levels of brightness - so realistic.

@DKS - I’ve never been a fan of the typical lighted layout that looks like an oil refinery at night due to all the very bright and uniformly intense lighting levels. However this layout is an exception because you used lights of varying intensity that match what you would see if viewing this scene from a nearby hilltop at night and you allowed dark areas where it made sense. Very nicely done.

Thank you. I've always maintained the philosophy to illuminate things the way they are in real life, as much as practical, not simply illuminate for the sake of adding lights. That also means paying attention to color temperature, as well as placement, and leaving some things unlit.

DKS, the layout looks great (both day- and night-time photos), but like others have mentioned, it lacks trains.  However that is not unrealistic.

That is an incredible build.  I was not able to see the photos previously.  Thank for the tip how to change my settings.

The amount of detail, the visual flow and overall scenery are beautiful.
