The number of trees you need for your model railway layout depends on several factors, such as the scale of your layout, the desired scenery density, and personal preference. However, here are some general guidelines to consider:
As a general rule of thumb, for a moderate-sized HO scale layout such as a typical 4x8 feet baseboard, you might need anywhere from 50 to 100 trees, depending on the desired scenery density. In N gauge, on the same baseboard size, you could easily have from 200 to 400 trees. However, this is just an estimate, and the actual number will vary based on your specific layout design and personal preferences.
It's always a good idea to start with a smaller number of trees and gradually add more as needed, rather than overcrowding the baseboard from the beginning. Additionally, experimenting with different tree placements and combinations can help you achieve a visually appealing and realistic scenery. Bear in mind that most modellers tend to have less trees than what would be seen in real life.
