| Ross Oddi's 1949 era layout included a nice farm scene. This is a narrow area that looks much larger than it actually is. The barn was just painted on the backdrop. |
Ross Oddi's
Corn Field
One stop on the Hamilton Layout tour was at Ross Odd's home in Beamsville, Ont. A scene that caught my eye was a small corn field. I asked Ross about his field. The corn stalks are by Busch #189-1202 which he twisted to random shapes then dipped the tassel's in the flocking that is included. He mentioned using a number of packages. There are a good amount of corn stocks in each package. The background barn Ross hand painted which I thought he did a great job of. The ploughed field is cardboard which has been pulled apart and the inside ribbing used. The ground cover is dirt and dried out tea...George Dutka
Nicely done! A vast improvement on the corn field demonstrated in "Great Model Railroads 2012," but then a great deal more effort invested I suspect.
