Funny you should ask.  I was just researching the scale of trees to HO rail yesterday.  At the risk of overdoing my welcome I will repost this photo from my thread on the layout building forum..... The tree placed temporarily  behind the loco is about 85 scale feet high, or 11 inches.  This is quite realistic in the real world but rather large on most layouts.  It is taller than any other trees elsewhere on the layout where the largest is about 70 scale feet, and so this new one looks odd.   <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/after3-1000_zps9018565d.jpg" alt=" " /> Yet here is a similar real world photo (photo credit Ben Kletzer) <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/84991387480199_zps5a699bf7.jpg" alt=" " /> But, Batman I think should go ahead and model those trees on your layout....... 260 foot high !...Like Cathedral Grove, eh?
