Just finished adding the soil in the cornfield as well as the variety of tufts dividing the mainline from the crops...I was just in Central Indiana and it definitely helped smooth the edges for planning this scene. If I havn't mentioned it the whole backside of my mainline is one long straight shot and is the main focal point for my replication of my small hometown. The rest of the layout is going to be planned as we(my wife and I) go. Still need a small-town, to finish my coaling area, and finally install a pulp-wood or lumber yard.
Cheers, Daniel.
