Model Trains

Looks great! I noticed the sharp color difference in the grass at one point. What made that happen? BTW, you did not discuss the station construction before.
I would love to see a photo of the full layout to get an idea on how you plan the rest of it.

I have used 'WWScenics Static Grass' in various shades and lengths.  The shades I used are spring, summer, autumn, winter and dead in 2mm and 4mm lengths.  I have an order in for 6mm.  Some places I applied two layers to add height and others just one where I mixed different shades together.  The bright green around the engine house was 2mm spring.  It does seem to stick out now that you mention it.  It might get a second layer.  All practice before doing the farm.  I use full strength Mod Podge to glue the grass.  If the glue is too thin, the grass won't stand up.  The second layer is very thin Mod Podge (at least 5:1) put on with a spray bottle.

   


I purchased a box full of various sized trees from 'evemodel' that I intend to use to cover the two hills.  I still need to source material for bushes and hedgerows.

Here are two photos of the entire layout as it stands today.  My plans for the two hills are the sore spot for me.  I haven't been able to workout yet what I want to do.  The artistic part is hard for me.  I'm too mechanical and precise minded.
