Here a good question:

Since I am modeling the Rock Island, a midwestern US railroad. How do I simulate the corn fields of the midwest? Any ideas?

Andy!

Cornfields?

ASTROTURF!

Get an astroturf doormat. Cut a piece to the desired shape and thin out the "corn" into rows. Apply to layout deck.

Thanks George:

Now what about fall corn? Also what about those corn bails you see in the fall that are used as decorations?

Any more ideas?

Fall corn?

Paint the astrotruf beige.

Corn bails?

Tell people they were brought in last week! http://www.the-gauge.com/ubb/tongue.gif
