Sycamore/Maple Branches with Leaves
Pond & Marshland Plants
Weeping Willow
Branches with Leaves
Unbelievable is the only way to describe this large, 8"
x 2-3/4" fret containing 16 sections of tree branches with correctly shaped
leaves (lots of leaves) that are to scale in N-scale and accurately represent
the foliage found on Sycamore or Maple trees. Until now, ground foam was the
only way to describe foliage in N-scale. Not any more...
Click on the Painting link under "More info" and learn how to give these branches and leaves a realistic appearance. Then carefully cut them out of the fret, randomly mount them on one of our Bare Tree Frames, a plastic tree armature or an Azalea branch clipping, gently twist and shape them into a realistic appearance, do a little minor paint touch-up, and...viola! You have a tree that really LOOKS like a tree!
Also, for more realism, you can add a little dab of Elmer's (white) glue to the joint where you attach the branch and let it dry before you do the paint touch-up. This will make it look more like it has "grown" from where you attached it.

It's about time! Nearly every model railroader has, or
is working on a layout, NTRAK module, or diorama that includes a water feature
in one form or other. It may be a major attraction, or just a minor accent,
but it always adds variety to the scene and is pleasing to the eye. Now, you
can add some dazzling detail with foliage typically found in and around these
areas. This large fret contains 8 sections of plant life that we're all
familiar with. Each section contains bulrushes (cat's tails), reeds, ferns,
lilies, foxgloves, etc. A wide assortment with amazing detail. Click on the
detail button above and note the veins on some of the leaves.
Oak Branches with Leaves
Ivy/Grape Stems & Leaves
Here's another breakthrough in detail sophistication. Imagine a
Grape arbor or pergola next to that house or building. Build a walkway trellis
and string Ivy or Grape through it. Wind it around a pole or tree trunk. Let
it climb up a structure. Just spray the entire fret a nice dark green
(touch-up the stems with brown if you like) and let your creativity go to
work. Look closely at the Detail image above, you can easily see the veins on
the leaves! This large fret is in 4 sections, each with 8, 45 scale-foot
runners with leaves. That's 1,440 N-scale feet of plant life (over a scale
1/4-mile).

This large fret contains 16 sections of delicate meandering
branches densely clustered with leaves. Not only do the leaves have the
distinctive Oak shape, the leaf texture is apparent. Due to their minute size
and delicate nature, many other types of foliage can be modeled using these
leaves and branches. Save any extra little "clippings" for yard debris, pickup
truck loads, trash barrels, dumpsters, or other areas that need "enhancing".
Use segments as climbing plants on buildings and trellises. There are
literally hundreds of places that can be improved with a little touch of
imagination.

Here's a way to turn a rather mundane plastic tree armature or
wooden branch clipping into a thing of beauty. Just add our Weeping Willow
Branches with Leaves. Spray the entire fret (face and edges) a light willow
green. After it has dried thoroughly, carefully cut out and mount the branches
as described above, shaping them so they hang (droop) down like the real
thing. Start from the lower branches and work to the top. Pause periodically
to do a light touch-up on any paint nicks or scrapes. Before you know it, the
mundane has been transformed into the magnificent. These leaves
and branches can also be used to model Eucalyptus trees, common
throughout the world in many varieties, as well as various other vines and
plants with long slender leaves.
