(See TrainPlayer Scenery Options.)

A model railroad can be successfully enjoyed with little or no scenery.  Nevertheless most model railroaders develop at least some scenery and others find that creating scenery is a significant part of a layout.  One rule of thumb is to not start building scenery until the layout has been successfully operated for at least 6 months.  Changes to track and wiring are much more difficult on a layout with extensive scenery.

There is so much available for scenery that we don't discuss it further here.
