Why not do an article on the whole scene, Steve?  Your cornstalks are really 
neat, and a shortcut to modeling a whole cornfield!

I’ve learned that not many in other scales are at all aware of what’s available 
in S, that’s why we need to expose them to our models if we want to get 
converts from that group.  I was talking to a guy yesterday and he said “S 
Scale- that’s American Flyer, right?”  He had never heard of any other 
manufacturers.

Sure reminds me of the Midwest, Steve. Wow, beautifully done! I'll bet the NMRA 
guys were suitably impressed. The pumpkin field is great.

Thanks, Roger. I remember your outstanding rural Monon Bell pike from the past 
so I figured you'd appreciate the terrain. The NMRA guys also saw two excellent 
HO layouts during the Twin Cities Division tours - Bill Brigg's and Gerry 
Leone. Both are extremely well-done and well-known. But there were a lot of 
comments upon seeing mine that they didn't know there was so much available in 
S, and how well S rolling stock tracked, and of course, about the size. Even a 
few of the old "If I didn't have so much HO stuff...", etc. Might have made one 
convert due to failing eyesight.

The individual cornshocks took about 10-min apiece to create, so relatively 
easy. Hope to do an a short article on it. The pumpkin patch leaves and vines 
are real corn leaves mulched in a Krupps coffee grinder. The residue makes for 
an interesting cup o' java.
