Lichen Adds To Realistic Model Railroad Scenery

Lichen is one of the easiest and most realistic materials to use in making small scale trees and shrubs on model railroads, or other hobby scenery. Lichen is ideal when mass foliage or quick and inexpensive greenery is needed.

Woodland Scenic is one brand with a range of Lichen products suitable for trees, foliage, small bushes and hedges on a model railroad layout.

As far as I know the Woodland Scenic Lichen products have been treated with preservative additives that make them nonflammable, nontoxic and hygroscopic. It does not dry out unless the relative humidity drops below 37%, and will soften again when the relative humidity rises above 37%.

Use Lichen to make trees, shrubs, bushes, vines, undergrowth and forests. This natural product blends in a limitless variety of colors and textures when combined with the turf and foliage line.

It comes in a range of colors including Fall (Autumn) tones. One popular shade is Spring Green -is a yellowish-green color with realistic-looking V-shaped pine needles.

Lichen makes it easy to produce realistic scenery whether you’re a beginner or advanced modeler. This product is easy to use and virtually foolproof. With most brands, instructions and tips are printed on the back of the package.

    in my volunteer work as as a trail maintinence man on a 400 acre natural island i come across lots of lichen in the fall which I collect for scenery use on my N gauge train platform. My question is how do I keep it from drying out and becoming brittle and how do I color it to meet my scenic needs. thankyou don reinhardt
