Scenery Sheets

Gene:
Never heard of this manufacturer so looked them up on Ebay. The scenery is printed on 80lb card stock. Though it does not matter for roads, thing is wrt stuff like the rock cliffs I don't know if the design is three dimensional or flat. If I did buy the roads I would cut off the green borders and just use the roads.
There are a lot of modelers who swear by printed cardstock buildings for background flats.

The old timers like Frank Ellison in the 30-50's built some of their buildings from cardstock and with paint, pencils, chalk etc. made them look good. I never saw one in person but in the old black and white photos in the magazines they looked very real. There are companies today who sell card stock kits with paper for siding.

Perhaps buy the smallest amount you can and see how it looks on your model RR.

Thanks Joe, in my search here it looked like the distributor was a forum sponsor at one time. I’d be looking at the roads or a horizontal placement only. You can also get a stick on road without the grass or sidewalk. I’ll let you know if I decide to purchase anything.

I personally don't think they look realistic at all.  I haven't seen them on a layout but have seen the sheets in person at York.  The only true way to tell is to order the minimum and see for yourself.

I find it unusual there’re not that popular when you do a google search. I haven’t seen one video of the roads on any layout or a picture for that matter.
