John,
Wow!  That has to be the best modeling of a forest that I can remember seeing.  It might even be too good, with scenery like that who is going to be looking at the trains?

Thanks for kind words. I'm looking forward to completing this scene and getting some proper lighting installed over the trestle.

The trestle scene is wonderful.  The trees look great, as does everything else!

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for the kind words. I will soon have an area on the layout that I consider finished - if that's possible on a model railroad. ;)

Thanks for visiting the thread and for your kind words. I'm real close to having the trains running so we will see.

Like I said once before John,  looks like a nice Fall day in the mountains of "Michigan".  Nice work.

Today, the layout swallowed up another 214 Aspen trees and 18 pine trees. It is amazing how many trees are required to make it look right.  I will try to post a couple pictures this evening.

John,



More trees than anyone can imagine. I just finished making 150 Florida Slash Pines and I'm just getting started. I look forward to the photos.

Thanks for stopping by Tom. I'm actually keeping track of the number of trees I plant so I will have a count when I'm done.  So far, I'm over 1500 aspen trees and 250 pine trees.
