Trees For The HO Scale Train Layout

This is the first batch of scratch trees Rob made for Barbara’s HO layout.

They are made from twigs and weeds he found around the farm. He still needs to paint the trunks with some acrylic paints, otherwise they’re done.  The best part is these are really cheap to make.

Due to the various shapes and sizes of the twigs and the different leaf colors, it appears that there are several species of tree, such as you would find in a real community or in a forest.

While Rob and I think they are cool, Barbara really likes them, and that’s what counts.
