Superior & Seattle Railroad Build (Volume 2) Started 2/25/17

[S&S RR]

When I was out in Arizona Frank Baker introduced me to Don Ledger, the artist that made the pine trees on Frank's wonderful layout. I really liked the way the trees looked on Frank's layout and thought they would add another layer to the scenery on my layout. I ordered a test batch of trees from Don while I was there and they arrived this week.  I have been testing them in different locations on the layout and thought I would post a few pictures to see what you guys thought. If you look at pictures of the mountain scenes in the Pacific Northwest you will find a few different pine trees along with the aspen trees.  I was looking for trees that complement the caspia trees that I already have on the layout.  Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think. I have to work on size an shape and numbers in each location.

Here are a couple more photographs.

The trees look great John.....they really help make the area come alive.

Here is a different location where I test planted smaller trees on the mountain side. The size will be slightly taller than the aspen trees to help with giving the scene depth.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for your kind words.  The scene is coming together one layer at a time.

You might be giving God a run for the money in planting trees!  ;-)

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for the kind words.  I believe God did a perfect job creating mountain scenery - as a modeler I'm happy with a close approximation. My goal for this layout is to have some beautiful mountain scenery here in my basement in Michigan, so I can enjoy it every day.

The locomotive I recently acquired is going to really complete the scene.  Thanks for stopping by John.

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