Here's an update. I planted more trees! I don't care if you have nothing but trees, it almost completes it!! I added my first building. It's a small Model Power frieght building I baught at Hobby Lobby. I did some kit bashing to it! First I removed the telegraph pole. It was facing perpendicular instead of parellel to the tracks. I added a street light in it's place. I also weathered the roof of the building. I also made my own fence. It really finishes the scence off!

Here's some pictures.

That's nice! I am with you on the trees, mine is going to be sparse on buildings and thick on trees.

Good work
How did you do the weathering of the roof?
By the way, I remember the 60's and the band Lovin Spoonfull which had a hit with "Rain on the roof". Those where the days...

That's easy. I used Delta Creamcoat Iron Oxide paint from Walmart. I painted it on. Then used a damp paper towl and whiped it.:thumb:
