Back to the drawing board, thanks DFF and Wazzou.

Chuck, it's a credit to you to redo what you have done.
I would try and locate some .080 Evergreen Styrene rod and use it to make a 5 pile bent jig. 
That will give it the look that I think you're after.

Went to Caboose Hobbies yesterday in Denver and it was a holiday madhouse. They don't
stock Scenic Express products. I needed their prairie tufts and static grass to match the
Colorado prairie grass. The WS is either too light or too dark. So I've ordered from them
before so I shall again (Scenic Express).

Trestle across LONE TREE CREEK is getting there. More stain and weathering, need to add guard timbers and rail.

Much better.  Sorry you had to tear the old one apart, but kudos for not being afraid or too lazy to go back and make it right.

Silfor shipment came today, prairie tufts and grass. Heading to BB&B to get an electric fly swatter to
turn into static grass applicator. Project tomorrow for Christmas Eve.

I love your scenery work.  You have a real eye for the details.

[chuck geiger]

Thanks Scott, very nice of you. I love scenery (Garth in Wayne's World I LOVE TO PLAY). Got most of the
base scenery on the B side done. This is the Wyoming/Colorado border. The trestle crosses LONE TREE CREEK.
Which is a straight section on the prototype. The Scenic Express Silfor Static Grass works great with the
homemade static grass applicator.

Grass looks good. Found I had to hold the metal strainer pretty close to the layout base to get it to stand up. Don't know if the more expensive ones have a longer range, but for the price who cares.
