I didn't know about these guys! I'm not 100% crazy about their building backdrops, but the purely scenic ones are spectaular. My wallet may be unhappy with this discovery. ;)

I am using the Western Timberland series from tracksidescenery--love it.  The ends of each scene match up very well and provide a nice effect.  Shipping was prompt.  I used the 34inch tall by 96 inch wide HO scale backdrops.

I have used the Hickory Hollow series - and they match up perfectly, also with the sky.  I have them on three wall around my layout and will add the final wall later.

These look nice.  Not clear to me how they mate one to another, vertially and sky matching.  You can always cut off the sky to get better mating of different items (paint your own sky for consistency) if the verticals match and make sense together.

I used Scenic Express items, cheaper but not all realistic photos (more like prints of realistic buildings, etc).
