I need to find a way to tag the wall "GIVE ME BRUSHES OR GIVE ME DEATH".

If you're going to have that much leaf cover, you're going to need a lot of trees nearby.

That haunted house looks entirely too European to me.  What about a rundown farmhouse?

Ha!

Naw, fam. I built this module specifically to showcase this building. It's supposed to be weird. It's Vampire Villa. It's not something I want to have on my PRR layout.
Just wait until I add the flashing red interior lighting and the fog machine.  :trollface: The story is that an old eccentric built this mansion and it was turned in to a haunted house with pumpkin patch.
CHOCK FULL OF PLAUSIBLE WHIMSY!
The goal for me is to practice fall scenery, use this neat building I love, and have it look good.

As for leaf cover and trees...there simply isn't enough room for it all on something small like this. Again, nothing is glued down yet, so we'll see what looks good or bad and take it from there. But thanks, I do see your point. Adding an off-the-module to the front is something I'm strongly considering.

Oi!  Nice Crocs mate.   :facepalm: :-X :trollface:

ha! I knew that was going to come up.
I bought these in 2006 when they got super popular. I stopped wearing them out of the house in back in 2007 when I graduated college. They have become my house slippers and are welcomed on my feet with these hardwood floored houses that we coincidentally keep living in.

Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Wall looks good.
Fall foliage forward of the track actually has a good color is.
Cut the grass.

I do like the color, it's just a little big.

That's some nice brick work.

My mom has struggled with that space on her T-TRAK modules too. It's too narrow to do too much with.

Yup.  #1 reason I kicked the T-Trak habit.  From now on, its Free-MoN for me.

I like what you did with the retaining wall. I think the fall leaves are ok as well.

Col.,
I'm liking that wall...looks like the funky PRR-built walls approaching Union Station in DC...

The first T-Trak module with a back story to inspire fan fiction!  Who was the old eccentric? Count Ed K? G. VonHinshaw? And what's buried under that pumpkin patch?

Or who.... Muwahahahahaha.

Stone wall turned out great no thanks to me!  :D :trollface: :D

Glad you toned down the mortar joints from whence we spoke.

Please tell me you plan on kitbashing figures into all of the famous monsters, can you say Nosforatu?

I asked Josh John what colors he used on his wall. He must have missed that shoutout.
