Looking for n scale chickens. Thanks.

"Popular Science" magazine Spring 2019 issue has a 10 page article with full page photographs of a 52,000 square foot model railroad. 8 miles of track and a control panel that uses more electricity a month than most homes use in 2 years.

Sorry, NO offence, but both of these cornfields look very artificial and the color of the second one is horrible. But thank you for your suggestions. I might have to see how some others made their own cornfields, wheat field, plowed ground, etc.

Why do so many model train dealers not give enough information about their products? Looking for a locomotive.....just says DCC, nothing about "ready" or "equipped." Looking for a locomotive or car....doesn"t say what radius track it can use. Looking for a locomotive or car...doesn't say...
