New Scenery at SJ Cabin
Thought I’d start a blog to document the completion of the scenery at SJ Cabin on my Chesapeake, Wheeling and Erie Railroad. Perhaps there will be a few techniques that readers on the MRH Forum will find helpful.

Does anyone have any recommended tips on painting clouds on a backdrop? I'm not an artist so I'm looking for something easy.
We don't need to build no stinkin' scenery!
What if you don;t want to build any scenery at all? Or what if you want to change the scenery on your layout routinely? Or if, like me, you want to try out scenic treatments before you build them? Can this be done?

Modelling in the Land of Sand
I suppose I should start with an introduction? I started with trains more years ago than I care to remember, when around age 5 I received an 0 Gauge Hornby clockwork tank engine.
