Does anyone have a suggestion on which green would work for the green trim on an older Texaco gas station? Thanks.

More Scenery Work

Wed, 2018-11-07 15:16 — DHfan73

I got some more scenery work done last week. I also finally fixed the signal. You can read it below or here. I also hit the one year mark on my blog, North Country Trains, and you can read about that and see some more photos here.

Yard Scenery May NOT Be Working Out...

Wed, 2018-11-07 14:54 — Visitor

I've started scenicking Casper yard.

It may not be working out very well...

After getting all the track laid in the classification area, I painted the track. That seemed to go ok for the most part:

So now it's time to work on the spaces between the tracks.

Cyclone Vents

Wed, 2018-11-07 07:49 — Jackh

Turns out there are a lot of varieties of cyclone vents. What I am after are the roof top kind that spin with the wind and pull hot air out of buildings.

2 questions: when did they 1st come into use?

and who makes the model variety suitable for HO scale?

SSltd makes one for $6.99, anybody else make some?

thanks, Jack

My first module - Finally the trees

Tue, 2018-11-06 05:44 — steve888

The last step, was adding the trees.

I used Woodland Scenics ready made trees at the back with an additional dusting of their ground cover product.

The foreground trees are a mix of fantastic Canyon Creek trees and small trees formed out of Woodland Scenics Fine leaf Foliage.

Need recommendation for static grass applicator purchase

Fri, 2018-11-02 14:45 — Deane Johnson

I need to do some static grass for the first time in my layout construction.  I searched the subject on Amazon and up pops a bunch of very expensive units.  Anybody know a reasonably priced applicator that does a good job?

I know there have been some DIY articles and postings, but I want to purchase something so I don't get distracted from building the layout.

Thanks for your help.

Bush, Shrub, and Undergrowth Discussion and Techniques

Wed, 2018-10-31 08:28 — sanchomurphy

Hi everyone,

I am interested in modeling realistic shrubs and bushes of different varieties and sizes at a high level. I use static grass and sage supertrees and am very happy with the results. I tried lichen for shrubs and it seemed out of place with these higher quality trees and grass. I have used some supertrees for larger shrubs but wanted variety.

What techniques do you use?
