When you are putting together a model train, you are definitely going to want as much detailed scenery as possible. Nobody wants to have a setup that only has a basic round circular track and nothing else, this would be too boring. Here are some tips on putting the coolest model train scenery that will make all of your friends jealous.
The first step will be to draw the scenery on a large piece of paper. Try to use pencil when doing this as it will be easier to correct any mistakes that may occur during the design process. You may want to consider a particular location or season which you want to represent. This will go a long ways toward making things looking realistic and not just throwing in things on the fly.
The next step is to buy all of your supplies from a hobby store if at all possible. While they may be cheaper at a “big box” store, the service one can receive at a hobby shop run by enthusiasts such as yourself will prove to be quite invaluable. The supplies one should plan on purchasing are paint, trees, people, buildings, and even grass. Some people have even been known to add custom sounds to the trains and scenery using such things as tcs wowsound.
The next step is to choose a board for the entire display to be set up on. The board should be flat so that the train can run as smoothly as possible. If the wood is warped or otherwise not in a flat condition, then the best course of action is to either discard or saw it into smaller pieces and use it for additional display and scenery options.
By following these helpful tips, you can be sure to be the envy of your friends. They will be amazed at the masterful scenery which you have created.
