Really like the look of these LifeLike dump-trucks and cement truck - they were the perfect addition to the construction site on the Ephrata Valley Railroad.

Those are good looking trucks, RP! I might have to get a few of those... :) What is the material that is covering the board on your layout...?

I totally recommend those trucks! I know they also made others (towtruck, etc.) that I definitely will invest in for the EVRR, sometime....
I used these Dollar Store green felt mats. The roads were painted gray.

And where is the Busss to be found, with his famous dumpster cam?
A few years ago, I tried to make up some sawdust grass using Rit Fabric Dye, as per an early MR article, back before scenic accessories were far and few between. Initially, it came out pretty good, but had a tendency to fade to pale rather quickly.

I used the cordaroy felt paper for my farm field base. It worked better than I expected.

I have to agree, that looks awesome, Gary! Dollar Tree for the win!
