JTT Model Hedges, Shrubs & Garden Boundaries

Use JTT model hedges, bushes and shrub details to separate station gardens, residential yards and open countryside from neighboring railway property. Compare the listed plant format and dimensions to choose a boundary with the right visual weight.

Plan entrances before closing a boundary

A convincing planted edge needs a route into the area it encloses. Leave gaps for garden paths, gates or a lane, and keep access to station buildings apparent. A tidy hedge and a loose shrub group express different kinds of maintenance, so select the product that fits the character of the scene.

Plan the surrounding railway scene

Try a hedge beside a station garden, around a cottage yard or along a lane beyond the railway fence. A boundary gives nearby buildings a defined place in the layout rather than leaving them on an undivided scenic base. Plan entrances and corners before arranging the hedge. Leave a gap for a walkway, gate or service access, then soften the transition into neighboring ground cover. Keep the boundary away from operating controls and coupling locations.

Where do hedges fit in a railroad scene?

Station gardens, residential yards and lanes beside railway property offer useful starting points. A hedge should explain a boundary or planted area; preserve an opening wherever a person or vehicle would need access.
