Trees are an intrinsic part of almost any landscape, unless of course you are modelling a desert scene or the top of a very high mountain. Nature has created
trees in many shapes and sizes, and with different coloured trunks and foliage. I
n the desert, there can be
cactus plants rather than trees. Similarly, in the model railway world, there are many and varied model trees to choose from.
There are also kits for making your own trees. Whether you choose ready-to-plant trees or you build them yourself, w
hen making your selection,
think about where your layout is based – what trees would grow there – and the time of the year your layout portraying. This will help in selecting the correct trees that will enhance the realism of the scene. This pack from Gaugemaster
contains 30g of leaf foliage to represent tree leaves in autumn or late summer. You will require Hob-e-Tac (code: WWS195), to attach the foliage to the tree branches or you could use cheap hairspray.
