What kind of scenery do you like to model?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 18, 2003 4:50 PM
I would like to hear from the people out there about what kind of scenery you like to model. What are you best at? Are you better at mountains, trees, industrial settings or forests and such? I think everyone has some aspect of scenery that they prefer or feel they are better at.

I like the country side and mountain and trees. What do you say?

Look forward to hearing from you.[8)]

Trees and mountains, hills and cliffs, creeks and valleys. Wild animals and human life, with a little bit of industry to justify the railroad track.

The mountains, valleys and small towns of the southern Blue Ridge. I'm fortunate enough to live there. It's very beautiful and also is home to some interesting and modelgenic railroads.

I love city, country, Mountains, desert, all of it. Keeps me from being bored and always learning and trying new techniques. I love em all. I have an HO module layout and everyone of them is different! Am currently working on a full size small town city block and a beach with a 10 story hotel and walkway over the tracks from hotel to beach. Looking for a ho scale shark with mouth open for attack scene, but have yet to find anything suitable.

My last two (also my first two) British steam outline layouts have been covered in snow, with bare trees, icicles, slushy roads and grey night skies.
My first American layout (still under construction) is downtown industrial 1990's diesel era in sunny Chicago and Birmingham (AL). How different is that. I'm still going to have some weeds and a couple of trees though.

Sounds great. I've been wanting to try doing something with snow. If you ever get some pictures, I'd like to see what you've done.
