Sandy Lake & Northern misc builds, etc.

It does look good. But the 3-post braced corner might be a bit much for pre-1900. Pre-WWII barb wire fences I've dealt with used larger posts for strength at corners, and didn't show much evidence of modern-day tight wire.

Howdy, Dave. The barbed-wire fence looks great.  It adds a lot to the scene.  Have fun, mike

(THIRD TRY...)
Vegetation...  I wanted tall (12mm) vertical grass tufts along the cliff edge.  Instead I got grass thickets.  Not bad looking, but not what I was trying for.

The orchard goes in on the right side.

And I've been filling in the slope by the bridge with tufts.  I need to add some taller shrubberies.


Also, I ballasted the track underneath the bridge:

Check out the 3/4 tree directly behind the bridge that wraps around the corner.

Your scene is developing well. I've made late-summer weedy tufts from some vendor's long grass-colored fibers: Punch or drill a hole, collect a bundle of fibers, cut to length, dip in white glue and insert using tweezers.

Looking good, Dave.

I like the shingle road with the backdrop behind.

Cheers, Mark.
