For traditional period billboards, head to your local library or use the internet for periodicals and also pamphlets from the historical period you are symbolizing in your model train design.

Sawdust is a fantastic, and also cheap, scenery addition. It can be used to signify tree bark along with other types of surface cover. You may dye it and turn it into grass or other varieties of ground cover, then apply it to your benchwork utilizing crafter's or wood glue.

Pine needles and pine cones can be used to create authentic pine trees as part of your layout. Use portions of real life tree elements whenever possible to represent model tree elements as part of your structure.

For items that you acquire, you should attempt to make them look weathered to make the landscapes seem more real.
