Although model railroad-
ers are accustomed to
using higher quality plas-
tic foam insulation for
scenery work, they should
not be tempted to use it
for tree support blocks.
The support wires, even
if sharpened, will create
large voids as they pen-
etrate that type of plastic
foam. The bead texture
material allows the sup-
port wires to penetrate
cleanly and anchor firmly.

The authors would like to thank fellow club members Steve
Cook and Dennis Markovich, who originally suggested and
discussed using burlap for scenery support.
