A reader left a very pointed comment that asked a very good question &#8216; &#8216;how does Pete unload the pumpkins?&#8217;  I went hunting to see if I could find some 1/32 tractors etc. But they were rather costly &#8216; at least for this project&#8217;s budget.  I decided that Pete, being a frugal farmer, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the backdrop in place and the basic colours of the layout defined, it was now time to start adding some trees and shrubs.
I built the shrubs using some unnamed dried floral product I purchased at Walmart a few years ago.  I snipped bush-sized stems from the main stalk and glued the sprigs together [...]]]></description>

The first test application of the backdrop revealed a few issues I wanted to resolve.  Firstly, as the image I was using was small it didn&#8217;t scale well when printed large &#8216; the image quality degraded too much.  Secondly, the colour of the backdrop wasn&#8217;t quite right.
I purchased a small copy of this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the groundcover in place it was obvious that before I could precede any further I would need to install the backdrop &#8216; as I couldn&#8217;t add scrub brush and trees without it.  I had every intention of painting the backdrop, but as I was surfing the web for reference images it dawned on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;ve been working on the layout I&#8217;ve been trying to decide how to justify the existence of a narrow gauge railway on a pumpkin farm.  I decided that the only reason a pumpkin farmer would need a railway would be because either he has a high volume of goods to transport, or the [...]]]></description>

I wanted to start scenicing the layout, so I decided to add the groundcover and ballast the track together to save time.  [...]]]></description>

I stained the wood portals with a mixture of burnt-umber oil paint / varsol, and then lightly over-sprayed everything with black spray paint.  (I made sure I stained the wood before I started gluing the surrounding scenery as the glue [...]]]></description>

I weathered the ties and rails by applying several light coats of different coloured [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the distinct advantages of an all-foam baseboard is that it is fairy rigid, and extremely light.  On the other hand, it does stand up very well to normal abuse &#8216; dinting and chipping! As I had leftover Masonite from the baseboard, I elected to add fascia boards.  I cut each of [...]]]></description>
