I've looked in before, but I suppose I should wave at the maestro...

Great, I'm up to about 10 followers now.


I've tried to get all the photos to the same size but since they are from an old computer and off a stick, I was unable to change the size on many of the pictures. So, click on the picture to get what I call a normal viewing size.

I wanted a small farm on the layout and this was the only area I had for the farm. It was on the curve where a double track ran above and a single track ran below the farm.

Just to the left of the farm a curved #8 turnout was installed for a passing siding.







More in a few.

Here you can see where I've started the farm by adding dirt and scenery material next to the road. Under the sand is a piece of corrugated cardboard. I used the cardboard for my planting rows.

NOTE: I used this method long before it started showing up on Allen Keller videos.

In this next photo you can see the scratch built farm/cracker house. This is the same farm house that is currently on the A&S RR layout.

By the way, the road is Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty.

Here you can see where I added the rows of cabbage. I used small tuffs of the Woodland Scenics turf for the cabbage. The windmill frame is a kit bash from the SS. Ltd. Farm windmill.

Love the cabbage rows, great idea.

Great modeling. I agree with Jan, the cabbage field was a excellent touch.
