I agree with the above comments that Kalmbach book on scenery is a great resource, but what I've noticed with my back issues of Model Railroader and other Reference Guides are that in "some cases" they become outdated. Yes, there are proven techniques such as Idia Ink washes, and dry brushing and iar brushing, etc. <br />You are working on your 10x10 layout, and more than likely you will have this for many years to come. I caution just grabbing one book as a recipe to success. This forum is great, and cruising the net you'll pick up lots of ideas and techniques. Look at pics at NMRA website and links to other clubs. Take your time sorting out what you want on the landscape and attend at least your local and regional train shows. There will be dealers there demonstrating "what's hot" with new landscaping, eletcrical, and planting materials. Try some of the new stuff on the market that hasn't made it into print yet. I suggest taking a year or two to create a supper scene. <br />Andy
