Scenery tells a story
A neglected line that crosses a well-maintained and weed-free main is the focus of this scene modeled by @mkt1960s. A few strategically placed foliage or static-grass clumps will quickly transform a plain track into an abandoned or nearly abandoned branch.

Boxcars and balloons
Drifting high above, the crew of a colorful hot-air balloon gets a bird’s eye view of a Detroit & Toledo Short Line freight passing by an expertly detailed and weathered feed mill. Poster @mimodelrailroad built the scene and painted the backdrop for this HO layout.
