Best Hobby Train Scenery of 2026

"My son was absolutely thrilled with this product! It was perfect for his 4H project and really helped him bring his vision to life."

"I genuinely liked the street set, but I was hoping for a bit more for the price. I still greatly appreciate your work and product!"

"The scale is a little off—lanes seem narrow for HO, and my 1/87 trucks almost fill the lane. It's a minor thing, but worth mentioning."

"I was impressed by the excellent quality and paintability of these pieces. After a coat of primer, they looked fantastic on my board, and their weight and functionality exceeded my expectations. Great value for the price!"

"The pieces have just enough weight to be sturdy and stand on their own, which makes them perfect for tabletop RPGs. I’m excited to use them in future games!"

"Although the product is durable since it’s plastic, it was a little smaller than I expected for my diorama. I wish it had been a better fit for my setup."

"I used this for my model airport and was impressed by how realistic and visually pleasing it turned out. Although it took some effort to flatten and set up, the end result was worth it. Highly recommend for great value and usefulness."

"This surface works perfectly for my arts and crafts projects, especially for building a putter stand. It’s just what I needed and seems ideal for various creative uses."

"Honestly, I was expecting more. The product looks more like green paper than actual grass. For those looking for realism, there are better alternatives out there."

"I added photos to my review so you can see exactly what I received. The greenery coverage and the color of my item are definitely different from the official product photos, but for the price, it’s comparable to similar kits. I do plan on adding my own details to make it look better. If you’re looking for something ready to go out of the box, you might want to customize it a bit, but as a base, it works well."

"I was worried the piece would be too tall and narrow, but when it arrived, it turned out to be wider and lower than I expected, which actually fits my diorama perfectly. The moss does shed a little, and the ‘stone’ isn’t very prominent, but for my needs, it’s just right."

"The plastic is solid and it keeps its shape, plus it fits nicely on curved track sections. It’s a good addition to any model layout and can be improved easily with a few personal touches."

"I was really impressed with the sturdy build and realistic look of these rocks. They're great for resin art and come in a range of sizes, which is exactly what I needed."

"I purchased these hoping they could be used as safe toy rocks for my toddler, but they're too heavy and not toy-safe. However, I can tell they're high quality and incredibly realistic—just not for kids."

"These little rocks were perfect for my son's 1st grade animal habitat project. I loved the addition of the moss and how realistic they appeared. I just wish they were a bit larger or that there were more included for the price."

"I used this kit for my daughter’s school project, and she ended up getting an A+. The set was really helpful and had everything she needed."

"I’m not a model train expert, but I loved the wide selection of trees in this set. However, I didn’t realize the trees needed to be stuck into something, as there aren’t any tree bases included. Also, the animals are much bigger than expected—the rabbit is almost the size of a tree! I’ll use the animals elsewhere, but the trees worked great for my project."

"The kit is very complete for activities with kids and includes a great variety of trees and animals. Everything feels like good quality, and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking to create scenery or do fun projects."

"I was looking for paints as good as Citadel and this kit delivered. All the colors I needed to paint my new army came in one box, and the included brush is surprisingly good. While the primer didn’t work well for me, swapping it out made everything smooth. The instructions are easy to follow and help achieve great effects. I’ll definitely use these paints for my Warhammer army—just with my own primer."

"As a beginner, I found this kit to be perfect for getting started with basing. The variety of textures and grass, plus the glue, made it easy to add detail to my miniatures. It’s a great value and has everything you need to start, though I can see wanting to try new terrains as I progress."

"I’ve been using Army Painter products for about a decade, and in my experience, their paints—especially the metallics—are the best. I keep coming back to them for new projects and recommend them to anyone looking for quality and reliability."

"Every year, I put together a large Christmas Village with electric trains and slot cars. These telephone poles were just what I needed—excellent fit, great price, and solid quality. They made the whole setup look even better."

"The yard lights look nice and are easy to install, but I noticed the LEDs aren't very bright and can flicker depending on the power supply. If you want actual illumination, these might not be the best choice."

"Some of my old Lionel telephone poles had worn out, so I tried these from Amazon. They really enhance the look of my train garden and were a great value, although a few bases were a bit loose. Overall, I’m really satisfied with the purchase."

"These worked perfectly for creating grass, sky, and water textures in our diorama. We had plenty left over once we finished, and the price was fantastic for the amount and quality."

"If your child has a school project, this kit is absolutely ideal for helping them recreate nature. It has everything you could possibly need for a realistic scene."

"I was a bit disappointed because the colors and material quality didn't fit my train layout needs—the moss was too green, and the rocks were all white. It might work better for other projects, just not for mine."

"I was looking for something to use in my son’s school project diorama, and these were absolutely perfect for the job!"

"I love using these rocks for my projects—they’re cute, realistic, and cost-effective. The details are impressive, and I appreciate being able to use them for several different crafts."

"At first, I thought these cactus looked a bit fake, but they actually add a playful, whimsical touch to my terrariums. The colors hold up well, and they stand upright, making them a great addition to a miniature landscape or desert scene."
