Details are add to the G&D Engine Service module. A fire box cleaning tool rack was built from a picture on ebay. In the background is the 2 stall engine house that was scratch built for a FSM color ad for the cost of $5.00. I find it crazy to see bidding a couple hundred bucks for the same thing on ebay.

The is a close up view of a pine tree made with that Campbell foliage material. Question? I was told by Dunkin Campbell that the foliage material in harvested under the sea off the coast of Norway. Does anyone sell this product such as in a floral shop at a better price than Campbell? Campbell doesn't even sell the tree kit anymore and the old price was $25.00 for a five tree kit.

AR&M:
I believe the Campbell material is a "sea fern". Jack Work used to use
asparagus fern for his pine trees, which also looked nice. I'd check with a florist for both, and also to see what other kinds of ferns and mosses they had.
Not to nitpick, but I notice your trees in the picture have sparse branches at the crown. This actually looks great as an old, dying pine, but usually trees have more branches at the top and sparse ones lower down:
