Trees, trees! Where are the trees?

If you were to look on the layout proper you would ask “Where are the tree?”. Right now the place looks like a beach with white sand with a railyard sitting on it. Desolation is the theme here, right?

Wrong. The locale, if you recall is Murphysboro, Illinois. Hardly a beach, desert or polar landscape. Trees, grass, hills, buildings! So what I thought I would do is update the readers on some landscaping plans. What is being planned is naturally, 1/384 trees. The research is in progress. Grass should not be a big problem. Buildings we are expecting to be somewhat of a challenge. But that is where the fun is! A note to readers: a number of buildings have the needed documentation to be realistic, vis-a-vis, old photo copies and maps. So realism is expected on the layout. Keep positive thoughts for us.
