Glorious NSE Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Not sure how to hide the exit to the fiddle yard Is there room for more intensive/widespread trees? Or would it start to obscure too much frontage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gilbert Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Im not sure that the trees look right They seem too high compared to the orange grove in the background I could add a highway bridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Glad your back! how about a 2 storey non-rail served building with trees on the end or a rail served building with a siding fed of the loop would add extra switching.

Gene Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Chris...I see what you mean about the trees in relation to the orange-grove.....but maybe the problem is that the orange-grove is too small(short) not that the trees are too tall. The highway bridge thing is so overdone....I think Rays concept might add more interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Always good to see a new layout from you, Chris! Specially with one of my favorite locos modeled. I’ve developed a taste for “tree tunnels” - very handy and they are everywhere over here, thankfully.... I saw one recently on a shortline in New Jersey the interior of which was an almost perfect natural facsimile of their loading gauge. So you can always put the trees real close and snip away at them.

Chris Gilbert Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ok just an idea I found these while looking for some Palm trees So adding some palm trees it looks like this its only placed on to get the feel. It still needs more adding but I think it looks much better with the smaller trees. If i was to scenic the fiddle yard, at might somehow hid the hole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It look ok to me, plus if your standing at that end to operate, you'll also block the view. To be honest don't think most people will notice,especially if your talking to them, as you do!! Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Wintle Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Chris; The second photo in post #7 here is a prototype treeline (+creek) scenic break. The first photo is looking back at it from the other side (but it is really too far away to appreciate). http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/52755-modelling-us-grade-crossings/ Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
