Great New Trees -Different from Toy Trains Unlimited
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, May 15, 2005 6:33 PM
Say,
There is another great product on the market from Toy Trains Unlimited, the fine folks who brought you SP Smoke pills!

Kenny and crew have developed an entirely new style of tree for O gauge layouts. Actually, since these trees are so superbly done, you could cut them up for use in any scale, even G gauge. The main factor making these trees unique is that they actually have leaves on them! Ken's intent was to fill his perceived market gap of tall trees for O gauge. What he has done, is create a tree with novel construction, that lends itself well to "kit bashing." These trees as built stand 12 to 13 inches tall, depending on how you bend the branches. They come in your basic "green tree" color, and also in rich autumn hues, making them a perfect tree for all seasons.

These trees make the ones from the other 2 famous scenery manufacturers look like what they are, ground foam on plastic sprues!

Pick up a few boxes of these from the toy trains unlimited on line web site. They look good unmodified, and also offer a source of great material for the creative modeler.

I will be pickling up a few more boxes, and using them on my O and N layouts.

Once again, I thank Kenny for the courage he has shown introducing such a radically different product from those already on the market![8)]

I looked at their website and could not find the trees you mentioned. Could you provide a direct link to the appropriate page? The only thing "featured" on the front page is SP smoke pellets and MTH.
