after 7 months of construction , i finally decided to cover up the plywood prarie. arizonas landscape comsist of cactus, palm trees, palos verde trees & bushes.the palm trees i bought through ebay from a chinese company called "we honest", the cactus were also another ebay find. they are made by pegasus models. both the palm trees & cactus looked very toy like so i repainted them to a more prototypical color. the palos verde trees where made by a friend of mine. his name is bob lacey & he lve in tehachapi, ca. i sent him pics of the trees & he made a very close representation of them for me. i am vertically challanged so i made the left & right mountains removeble so that could work on the to add more color, ground cover, trees & vegitation
the motive power in the video are a pair of kato SD40-2 snoots. both are equippied with digitrax decoders
enjoy the vid & if you are in the need for trees, give bob a shout at trains56@yahoo.com
