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.

I'll bet the NMRA guys were suitably impressed. The pumpkin field is great. Roger Nulton 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.
