When creating a model railroad train set the backdrop or the scenery is as important as the trains themselves. Creating a model railroad system is about more then just adding tracks, placing engines and putting some trains and a caboose on the track. It's about creating a realistic little railroad that can be appreciated as a scale of the realistic version.
Here are some backdrops that you might consider adding to your model railroad system.
