From the La Crosse Tribune: La Crosse police are inestigating the theft of over $700 worth of model railroad equipment from 5 vendors at a local model train show on Saturday March 17. Pretty lame way to get into the hobby!

From the Bachmann website:

“A whole forest of them, actually. Our new SceneScapes™ line of realistic trees is shipping now. With SceneScapes™ trees, modelers can create tranquil groves or blanket a hillside in dense forest with deciduous and coniferous trees available in a variety of sizes and suitable for all scales. Featuring realistic colors, size assortment, and removable bases for more placement options, SceneScapes™ trees will bring urban and countryside railroads to life with an added level of detailing and ambience. SceneScapes™ are offered 3 per pack (deciduous trees) or 6 per pack (evergreen trees).
