Model Trees & Foliage

Model trees and foliage are among the most transformative scenic elements you can add to a layout or diorama. A well-planted hillside or a canopy of trees framing a country station immediately gives a sense of depth, scale, and natural life that flat ground cover alone can't achieve. Trees also help break up line of sight and create the sense that your world extends beyond the visible baseboard edges.

Noch produces some of the finest ready-made model trees available, with their premium laser-cut and handmade trees offering natural shapes and realistic foliage in a variety of species — birch, pine, poplar, oak, and deciduous mixed varieties. Woodland Scenics' Tree Armature and Foliage Cluster system allows you to build custom trees to your own design. Faller and Busch also produce quality European-style trees.

For scale accuracy, OO gauge (1:76) modellers should choose trees in the 50-100mm height range to represent mature trees; smaller trees work well as background or hedgerow plants. N gauge layouts typically use 25-60mm trees. Multi-packs offer excellent value for planting whole hillsides or woodlands.
