The small stuff is what makes an N scale scene believable: a fence line following a property boundary, a culvert where the fill crosses a creek, a row of poles marching along the right-of-way. None of it is expensive, and all of it tells the viewer that the landscape existed before the railway was laid through it.
Woodland Scenics covers the fencing and civil-engineering side — Rail Fence (A2992), Picket Fence (A2994), Chain Link Fence (A2993) and Barbed Wire Fence (A2990), plus the Timber Culvert (C1165), Masonry Arch Culvert (1163) and Timber Retaining Walls (1160) — along with the US2250 and US2251 Pre-Wired Poles and the US2252 Transformer Connect Set. Micro Engineering adds industrial detail such as the 80-157 Mine Cars, Walthers SceneMaster supplies containers including the 8805 40' hi-cube, and Kato's 23-060 Double-Track Catenary Poles suit electrified Unitrack scenes.
All of it is N scale, so nothing needs to be cut down or fudged. Retaining walls and culverts are the two details worth planning before the plaster goes in, since both want to be set into the terrain rather than glued on afterwards.
