Hello -
I'm glad to hear that others find scenic details can be "not fun". I guess
they are necessary if you want to display your layout but my situation is a
small (bordering on tiny) layout with a minimum of visitors - I can build and
run just for myself.
I decided to forego all non-train stuff. Where I have a switching spot for
loading cars I put down a piece of matboard in the shape of the structure
footprint, label it, and call it a structure. There is ground cover but no
bushes, trees, people, trash cans, junk piles, or any of the other normal
railroad detritus.
It doesn't look like much but it serves me.
Remember the cartoon in an old MR that showed a guy running trains on a sheet
of plywood? He had nothing but bare plywood but in his head was a vision of
magnificent scenery - that's about where I am now. - visions.
