Scenery - Structures
bushes anyone?
I saw this pic in a forum.
I like the dark green one, but want to make others.

O Scale, 2 rail, Steel Mill Build
O scale, 2 rail guys don't get as much recognition on this forum as HO scale.
And O-scale doesn't have aproduction kit for a steel mill that I know of?
I was searching for a related steel subject, and ran across this construction sequence. This fellow does a pretty nice job.

Pine tree bark advice
I am on a facebook group and this guy really models some nice trees. While I am eating on his reply, I was hoping someone else knew how to do this. I can't figure out how he gets his bark on the pine trees?
Acrylic over enamel? I can't tell if it is paint or texture. I wan't to know because my 2-4mm static grass is dropping in the post on Friday and I want to experiment this weekend.
Cheers!
Adhesive?
Wasn't sure of category. For a shelf layout about 2 feet below the ceiling. Lighting. Possible LED's, seem to be a good choice available. How do you fasten them to the ceiling? I'd prefer something that is easy to remove. As in replace a LED or whatever. I realize LED's may never have to be replaced, but I'd like to be prepared. I thought of Velcro? Double sided tape? Just plain glue or some adhesive that the wires/lights could be pulled off and re-glued as necessary? I'd like to avoid screws or something that "destroys" the finish of the ceiling. ?

Upcoming Cricut Design Space Changes
Important info for those users of Cricut die cutting machines: I was made aware this morning of upcoming changes to the Cricut Design Space. If you are using the free Design Space app without the paid-for Cricut Access plan you will get limited to a 20 personal images and/or patterns uploads per month. A monthly Cricut Access plan will cost you $9.99/month to overcome that limitation.

A real railroad in your front yard.
One of the more peculiar aspects of the street running in Union Bridge is that the track entered the street by running through the front yard of an old brick house at the top of Farquhar street. How would you like that barely missing your house every day?
Here is a photo of the actual brick house:
