Farmhouse by a Kansas wheatfield
This farmhouse and wheatfield are on Steve Sandifer's HO scale layout. All his finished structures and scenery are superb. He models a Santa Fe branchline in central Kansas circa 1952. I photograhed his layout on the 2011 Fall Layout Tour but didn't ask his permission to post these until this year. Over the next few days, I'll post more 2011 photos of his layout and then some from 2012.
The wheatfield is made of a type of carpet he carefully searched for. Then he used a combination of a hairspray and blowdryer to get it to stand up like this. Many years ago, I used a type of fake fur that I purchased in a fabric store, but it didn't turn out this good. Now I use a special N scale mat made by the German scenery company Busch for my wheatfields.
