Name of Layout Montana 1890

Here are some highlights of my layout. Ive tried to stay within the late 1800's but has been some what difficult because I can not find but a few horse drawn wagons. Most wagons such as stagechoch and hearse are in ho only.
I have 5 tressals, 10 tunnells, about 40 to 50 feet of track, and 34 buildings, which about half are stick built. Ive used wall board mud over styraphome board to creat most of the mountains and hills during construction. Then i used differant colors of spray paint to color all of the general layout, then used small paint brush's and airgun to paint small details and buildings. I have found that using a spray can of spray adhesive to spray tress and then dip them in a box with differant colors of folage (medium, course and light)mixed togeather then spray with hair spray works very well and is a lot faster and cheaper.
