It really shows how personal and expressive this hobby can be. I’m in!

I’m planning to model a 1950s-era gravel road crossing somewhere in rural Pennsylvania. It’ll have:

A weathered wooden crossing sign

Rusted rails embedded in old ties

Overgrown weeds and a beat-up pickup waiting at the crossing

Maybe even a farm dog on the roadside

I’ll be using HO scale, and for added texture I’m thinking of using real dirt, sifted and glued down, plus repurposed coffee stirrers for the crossing planks.
