I've seen several posts of screen shots taken in wintery conditions where there appears to be a blanket of white on the ground with only the rails (no ties) visible. Were these pix retouched or is there a way to get terrain textures with a deeper snow covering?TIA

I know there was a "heavy snow" file that was and probably still is available in the File Library.
Do a search for heavy snow I think there is more than one.

>what do you mean "so they have an Alpha" ? I think it means an Alpha Channel--something from the world of digital graphics which I don't understand--so, I don't mind joining you and showing my ignorance as well.
