A convincing landscape is the soul of every model railway layout or diorama. Whether it’s a rural scene, a town at the edge of a forest, or a mountainous environment: trees define the atmosphere, scale, and depth of the entire scene. With the NOCH tree range, you bring home true-to-life quality that visibly elevates your layout to a higher level.
NOCH has been known for many years as a leading specialist in landscape modelling. Their trees are characterised by realistic trunk structures, finely detailed branches, and naturally coloured foliage or needles. No two trees are exactly alike, resulting in a credible and vibrant landscape. We have recently received a beautiful new delivery featuring a wide selection of tree types, suitable for many different scenes and seasons.
This new delivery includes deciduous trees, conifers, and fruit trees. This allows you to easily create variation: from dense forests and forest edges to individual trees along roads, fields, and villages. By combining different tree heights and species, you create depth and a natural composition—just like in real life.
Deciduous trees such as oak, ash, lime, and chestnut are ideal for village squares, parks, and rural areas. Poplars and hornbeams are perfect for avenues and property borders, while swamp birches come into their own in wet or waterside environments. For wooded or mountainous routes, spruce trees are indispensable, including the distinctive Nordmann fir.

- Finish the base of the tree with scatter material, grass fibres, or shrubs
