The mountain is 95% complete, with only a few small touch ups required. If you look closely, you can see the Super Chief's observation car as it disappears into the tunnel.I find that the landscaping is a little tedious, and very difficult to plan. So far, I am just planting bushes and ground cover in a scattered, not-really-in-a-pattern way, that actually looks pretty natural. After all, real life is certainly more hap hazard than neat little rows.
I purchased the first of the pine tree forest and selected the "Realistic Trees" product line from Woodland Scenics. These trees are the smallest (2 1/2" to 4" tall) and seem to be just right for the N scale layout. Next I will add the remaining trees both on the mountain and in Flagstaff. Winslow is pretty barren, with no Ponderosa pine.
