If that's the look you are going for...then I think you are well on your way to "nailing" it!

That is a great choice of a scene to model

[Ralph]

Very convincing lumber loads. What did you use for the straps?

[Sumpter250]

That prototype photo ! THAT, would make an excellent diorama, snow and all !!

Matchsticks.........who'da thunk it !!! Great lumber load !

Here is PRT 2457 Alco C-425 & PRT 7071 shoving platform in EL heritage paint !!! This is a old atlas/kato that I put new led's , number boards in & a TCS decoder in ( sound will come when TCS cones out with there diesel decoder ) The PRT will use this loco to run on the NJT to pick up the cars at the interchange track since this is the only one with cab control that NJT demands . The EL paint is special to me because these are the locomotives the ran on the old branch-line that was near my house when I was a 8 yr old kid !!! :o hock:

Now that says New Jersey. It looks like you cut away some of the baseboard to put the river in, too. Can you show more of what you did? Great job!

How about some red dirt and lots of bramble bushes?
