Woodland Scenics offers a variety of materials - gorind foam in degrees of courseness and taller grasses. You probably need a combination of the foam and the grass for your project. A piece of extruded foam or a ceiling time would make a good base for your project.

I would recommend painting the base a flat, tan color using latex paint. You can sprinkle on some fine sifted dirt or ground foam while the paint is wet to add texture. To add the tall grass, poke a hole in the foam base, add a drop of white glue, then insert a clump of tall grass. You'll have to do a lot of this! Woodland Scenics offers Scenic Cement in spray bottles to secure the foam, dirt, small rocks etc. It will dry flat and clear.

You might consider using fake fur (sold in craft stores) for the tall grass. It is economical and can be trimmed to represent different heights of grass. Choose a color that fits that grass you want ot model and simply glue it to your base. Disguise the edges with ground foam or Woodland Scenics grass.

Good luck!

Now we are getting somewhere. I think it best for you to have a meaningful moment and think about what you want. You are looking for O27 under $200.00. You want to look at postwar. Now the Standard gauge is not O27. Like I said, think about what you want. In either case, my answer is the same for both. Trainshows, eBay, and perhaps some local dealers. Also, keep an eye out at garage sales, etc. Make sure that if you want O27, you get O27, not O gauge, which is O31 or larger. As to track plans, check out the Lionel web site and order some books, they will tell you all you need to know with regard to the basics, care of your trains, benchwork, track plans, etc. I mention the books just so you don't get into trouble and damage some trains. Also, ask questions, but try to narrow your scope or you won't get a good answer. the folks here are willing to help, but we need to know what you are asking. Good Luck and keep coming back, you will get a lot of answers here.

I just think you have given me one more good reason not to associate with Pittsburgh Steeler's fans. Thank you.

OK, I think I can steer back to the main topic on "other thing's"

Here's the difference between us and our spouses.

We have to choose which boxed trainsets to get;

while she chooses which boxed shoes to get.

I will take a stab at this one (surgical humor), I believe you are looking for inexpensive 3 rail trains, for this, try the pages of Classic Toy Trains, some advertisers have sets and rolling stock at great prices. Another try would be a local train show. As for layout suggestions, put a search on this forum (located at top of topic page), there are a few web sites out there. Also, if you go to Lionel.com, they have a section on Layout suggestions. From what I gather from your post, you are not looking at a super delux room size layout, so you should be able to get something from these two sources. Remember, one great thing about trains is that you are only limited by your imagination and wallet.
Good Luck

ROTFL - roll on the floor laughing is another one.
IMHO - In my humble opinion is another.
Hmmm - means Hmmm.

This is one of the best topics we've had in a long time. Let's see if we can keep it on page one.

I really think that what I think is close to what I am really thinking about of course the exception is when I am not really thinking.

I think thats right.

If I understand correctly, this thread would pretty much cover 75% of all the topics on the forum.

You might want to narrow down your subject some.

Boy, am I glad Colin didn't understand it. I know I'm getting old and don't understand all of the computer shortcut words, like BTW and LOL, but when Colin, a teenager, doesn’t know what the message is saying, then I don't feel so dumb.

Colin, you have saved us all from embarrassment. [bow][bow][bow]

Here is what I thought was being said by oscaletrains:
Only three rail products and track plans need to be posted on the ??? web page. There should not be anything other than these items. Please do not swear. Have fun.

I have no idea what web page we are talking about in the above interpretation. [%-)][%-)]

That is probably an idea of what he said.

Oh, I am glad that I was helpful not to embarrass you guys. I could barely make out what the topic title was, and I do not have the AOL instant messenger, so I do not know all of the "lingo"

Buckeye, here is some of the "teenager words"

btw=by the way

brb=be right back

(another spelling for cool) kewl

cyl= see you later
There are more, I just cannot think of them right now. Oh well.
