Anyone have any comments. The trees I made from herb roots soaked them in white/water 50-50 with a few drops of dish detergent and sprinkled them with dried sage. I think they look pretty good. I made 32 and they cost me .45 cents. Not bad for the time it took. Let me know what you all think. Ken FIDDLEHEAD RAILWAY CO.

I should have said white glue and water with a few drops of dish soap. The roots are from my wifes herb garden. I dried them soaked them in the glue and water then sprinkled then with dried sage next I sprayed then with a sealer. The road way are tea leaves. I'm retired and need to spend as little as I can so I put in the thinking light and came with all kinds of thing. I am working on a working windmill as seen on the older farms years ago. I look to have it done soon. I am powering it with a mini airplane motor and transmitter so far it seems to be working but need to make a few changes. I will post a picture when I get it done.

when you get tired of trains you can recycle the herbs and tea back to the kitchen
