Modeling topic

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?

Folks,

I have a question regarding the different types of DCC sound systems out there. I know there's Lok Sound, and Tsunami, and others, but I'm buried trying to make sense out of this.

This isnt a real good photo and its hard to make out the detail in question, but in the upper section of the structure,in the dark squares there are some large openings next to the windows. Anybody have any Idea what these are or what they were used for?

Digikeijs DCC

Tue, 2018-10-30 10:55 — ctxmf74

Hi All, Anyone using the Digikeijs system? I need a new DCC system for my S layout and the price seems right. I don't have internet access in my layout building so that might be a problem? Does anyone use the Digikeijs system stand alone? Can it be set up and controlled by an Ipad? .....DaveB

HOn3 4-6-0 build

I had some leftover drivers and a junk boiler from a MDC HOn3 2-8-0, so I decided to build them up into a 4-6-0. First I designed and printed a chassis through Shapeways and test fit the boiler:
