I have been making balustrades/guard rails for my Christmas "display layout". Here are some along the front in their unfinished state. They are made from poplar with small gallery rail turnings. I am debating whether to make them cream or green. I think I will start with cream, which will differentiate them from the station platforms behind them. You can also see the unpainted fascia with moldings that is the front of the table.
The scenic plot on this layout, seen in the background of several photos, can be seen in OGR Run 315 in an article on making the trees.
I haven't posted pictures of the whole thing this year, because I have been trying to get it more finished.
