Christmas came a couple days early at my house today. The UPS guy showed up with my package of scenery materials. I tore in and went right to work adding some cypress trees in the distance, some smaller trees, bushes, cat tails, and my first attempt with static grass. I'm going to let the glue dry overnight and plan to pour the water tomorrow.
I sure wish I had a hobby shop close by. Scenery items don't always look the same in person as they did online or in the catalog. I need to make a road trip to a well stocked hobby shop soon!!!!
This BLOG will chronicle the design and construction of a proto-freelance HO scale model railroad. I've based this layout on the area that I grew up in. This line is no longer in use but I will try to keep it alive in my own way. The purpose of the layout is to enjoy running trains. PERIOD. It will not be prototypical to any era or road. I just want to run trains that have or could have run on the line through Starkville, MS. plus a few extras.
