Pine Cone Trees (way 2)

by Anonymous

Well this way looks good but its hard to find an ideal pine cone. You want to find a young pine cone that has all those scales tucked in tight so it looks like the thing is just covered in bumps. If it already has moss or anything that looks halfway descent on it then great, you've got a tree that fell from a tree pre-made. But otherwise you can put model foliage (sold at any sane hobby store) or lichens. ground foam etc. It is the same idea as the pine cone method but you don't have to strip the cone down. And of course, you can put it on a dowel or it looks fine on the ground.

This unique Model Railroad Museum was established in November of 2024 as a non-profit community organization featuring ten operating model railroads in all the different major scales, a STEM Program for students, historical displays, group tours and clinics on how to develop your skills as a model railroader. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Open 12-6 pm on all Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through April, 2026. They will be moving to a new location after that. Will provide an update later this year.

Update: Aug. 2. 2026. Unfortunately, the MacArthur Center where our Museum was located has closed and we have been forced to evacuate our space there. Until we can find a more suitable place, we are temporarily located in a small office/store at 750 Lord Dunmore Dr., Unit #109, Virginia Beach, VA 23464. Our multiple layouts have been dismantled and are in storage nearby. The good news is that we have many items that are available for sale at greatly discounted prices. Our hours of operation are 2pm to 5pm, every Mon, Weds, Fri, and Sat except major holidays.The proceeds will be used to create a new and better museum once we have found the right location.
