Lighter Camera
Hi,

Our first stop was at Scott Robertson's On30 Never Done and Always Changing:

Here are a few photos showing some of the rebuilt part and especially home made trees using furnace filter, dowels, and ideas from Joe's DVD's. I plan to show a lot more of my layout soon but this will give you an idea that I love the wooded regions of the Pacific Northwest. So far I have built dozens of the furnace filter trees and I find it rewarding to create different looks in each and every
