Thank you. Trees on hold for a bit. PVA (Elmers Glue) is hard to get. I think home schoolers are sucking up all the supply. Ballasting & gardening use quite a lot, but trees use even more as there's additional waste w/dip method. PaulE
Have you tried builders merchants Paul? It’s a good source of supply in the UK.
No doubt, but they're in the burbs. I'm trying to just buy local during these trying times & local (within a mile or two) builders supply houses are wholesale only. My local hardware store will get some in soon. PaulE
Elmer's acquired. Trees started, but 10 trees/hour is too slow. My old process was faster but took lots of space now taken up by the layout. Some pics below w/o undergrowth.
C&Cs welcomed.

Thank you gentlemen. This will take a while. PaulE
Paul this is turning out really fantastic! The trees and scenery are really making this whole thing pop even more than the buildings, tracks etc.
and as Oliver Twist once said… “Please sir, I want some more”
KEEP THE GREAT WORK COMING

Thanks gents. Next is M.O.W. section.
This is proving more difficult than foreseen, so I've been adding trees & undergrowth here & there in between gazing at the M.O.W. section, trying to visualize what I had planned when I laid it out back in the eighties. I will go back to military if I get stuck, just to clear my thinking & clean up the cave, as it is really cluttered w/scenery materials right now. PaulE
PaulE this is just my opinion you are doin great on the tunnel but i think you are tryin to hard an its causein you in your mind confushion in nature things are all over the show SO let your thinkin just flow an not try to get everything right as SO FAR this is wonderfull just keep chippin away at it an it will come
chris
You're right Chris, I'll just forge ahead the way it is & just finish it off. PaulE
Paul,
