Does anyone know a good way to duplicate weeds between crossties?

I use Woodland Scenics coarse ground cover, glued down with white glue/water (50/50). You may also want to find some Woodland Scenics field grass. I drill a small hole in-between the cross ties, put some glue in the hole and then add the field grass. After it dries I come back with some scissors and trim it and make it look good.

When I was modeling in HOn3, i used dried Artichoke flowers [green/yellow ones] as tall grasses. these can be found in craft stores in the dried flowers section.

This is flexable enough engines/cars can run over the tops without derails.

Just cut small bunches off, and plant them in
a pre-drilled hole that has been pre-filled with carpentry glue.

Have fun planting weeds, On my RR. I have to pull the weeds and plant trees/shrubs. hehe

Tiny, I just had a look at your website. My wife and I think it is great We love the way you present the progress reports!

You say the neighbors think you are mad, but I don't see much evidence of neighbors How close are they? (In miles!)

Just got around to ballasting and scenic work on my lumber mill area, so will have to tackle the question of weeds, etc.

I will experiment, but weeds are a bit small in N Scale
