Show us some of your scenery.
I am going to be expending my layout soon, and I would like to re-do it with realistic scenery. Any tips would be appreciated as I have never done scenery.

there is the terrain part and structure part of scenery.. you may want to look at the sunday scenery photo thread each week. Another place is the weekend photo thread and in the layout section a number of people are building out their scenery in various threads.

Thanks for the link and information. Have a stupid question, though. Grass before track or track before grass?
Track before everything. Get your track in place and wired, then run trains for a while to make sure the track plan is what you want it to be. Then start scenery. You don't want to be a good ways along with your scenery and then decide you want to start adjusting your track plan.
EDIT: Just re-read your question. If you are talking about grass paper then you will want to put it down first. When I initially answered I was thinking of ground cover or static grass type of scenery.

Thanks. I meant to add that I was talking about ground cover.
