It all depends on what your modeling. I do Old growth 1920 west coast logging and trees even in N scale are tall. In fact I have plans for a fire lookout station that was built in 1920 something that was on top a topped fir at 170 feet or 12 1/4 inches in N . No, my trees will not be that tall more like 7 or eight but they will still be up there. The average fir they are cutting now for second growth is around 100 foot and about 3-4 ft thick at the base. So 7.5 inches tall and 5/16th inch in diameter. The photo is of a kit I made of the look out station and build my a buddy in Ho scale I also have it done in N but they are not on my site .
