JTT Pine Trees for Model Railroad Scenery

Compare JTT pine trees and pine-tree building selections for wooded railroad scenery. Named pine products vary by series, actual height and package format, allowing you to plan a grove, background planting or individual scenic feature.

Make the tree line support the railway

Sketch a wooded slope around a curve or tunnel approach and decide where passing trains should remain visible. Leave an open clearing or road into the background to give the grove a purpose. Read the specific listing to distinguish a tree kit from a finished-tree pack.

Plan the surrounding railway scene

Consider a pine stand beyond a tunnel approach, behind a logging spur or above a branch-line curve. A grove can establish the setting without adding another building to an already busy layout. Arrange the planting in staggered groups rather than a single straight row. Leave one opening toward the track so a locomotive remains visible as it passes through the wooded scene. A few separated trees at the edge can connect the grove to a road or clearing.

How can pine trees make a layout look deeper?

Try placing the main grove behind the track and a smaller group nearer the viewing edge. An open strip of ground between the groups helps separate the foreground from the wooded slope.
