Ah, you're right, the road does look good. I need a Main Street as well as the baseball field, will try to print one or buy one. Thanks

Printed scenery items can look very nice.

The road in this scene is just printed on paper.

I built a couple of very small N scale layouts that were able to be on the table when in use, and in the back of the closet when not.

I think what you are describing can be a lot of fun.

I googled “ho scale baseball field“ and one came up on eBay.  Included concession stands.  I think it is made of paper which you have to glue to a base, possibly foam board.  About $21 or so.

Don’t know anything else about it.

Hello all,

I am a beginner with only two locomotives, two more on the way, a few beautiful ready-made Main Street buildings, and a 4x8 EZ track Oval on our dining room table. It all has to be removable if we ever have anyone over to eat here again. I'd love to have a baseball field but can't find anything ready-made that would look good. I just want a field, maybe even just an infield, and simple bleachers for a little league type scene. I could assemble the bleachers. Question, are those inexpensive paper printed baseball fields any good to start with, to mount on a board and add grass perhaps? Or do you know of any ready-made fields? Please don't urge me to commandeer a room in the house forever and build a permanent layout, not happening. Thanks for any (other) ideas.
