More Scenery for a Small Layout - Building "The Grunge" Episode 16

Even if your interests in model railroading lean more toward operations, as is the case for me, scenery plays a big part in creating the illusion that we’re looking for on our layouts.

As layout owners It can be easy to ignore the fact that your layout has no scenery. You kind of “get used to it” and become blind to those missing elements. That can be great for you, but for others it might be jarring. Even if you have structures in place, the lack of other scenic elements immediately tells viewers that they’re looking at a model.

If you've ever wanted to get into model trains, or build a small switching layout but didn't know where to start, this series is for you, because it's all about how to build a small layout! There's a lot to think about when building a train layout, especially in a tight space, and we'll cover everything you need to know on how to build a small layout, including model railroad scenery and roads for your layout. This is the sixteenth episode in the series on building a small HO scale layout.
