Hi Jack from Star, Idaho. A while back in a post I said I had torn out a great deal of my railroad simply because I didn't like it. Here are a few photos showing some of the rebuilt part and especially home made trees using furnace filter, dowels, and a little practice. I plan to show a lot more of my layout soon but this will give you an idea that I love the wooded regions of the Pacific Northwest. So far I have built dozens of the furnace filter trees and I find it rewarding to create different looks in each and every tree. Some of the trees in the background are factory trees but that will be the last of those I plant. Please excuse the lightning struck tree, the flash washed out the true colors. This type of tree is actually easy to do if the right technique is used. I build them from 9 or 10 inches for back ground and the deep woods trees up to 18 inches tall. The average conifer forest is 85 to 90 feet in height. I plan to post some pictures and how I make these soon! I hope you like what you see!Jack
