Trudy's Farm

The railroad is a family afffair. So here is how Trudy's farm is progressing. The building is a stand in for the farm house that is yet to be built. Trudy did the painting and aging of the fences herself. She decided on the color and what to add to them to make them look old. She then set about mixing up her own ground cover. It looked so good that I am trying to copy it for use in the alpine area. The two cars are hers too. There is even a "burn pile" I had not thought to add one of those but it was the first thing Trudy thought a farm should have.



Here is another angle. Her farm is on a rural road that connects Portland with a small depot and water tower. She owns the cattle pen and ramp that gets her prize black Angus to market. She also has a pig pen and chicken coup. And a small vegi garden that you can see. We also added a hill behind her house. She named it Gertrude Hill. This is the olden days photo.
