Thank you for helping me out with the postings
You can use birch seed if you have birches anywhere near you
you can colour them but even the plain brown ones give a good dead leaf look
as an aside the reference picture for this
and the black model before I repainted it red as I fell in love with the picture and had to have a go at modelling this graveyard picture
FYI I model in 00 but this car was an O gauge model but it shows the seeds off well

FYI real dead leaves crushed in your hands make good deadfall leaf for the layout so far mine have lasted a couple of years with no ill effects

an 00 version camper van,FYI the tree trunk with fungi is a branch I found with lichen and photographs really well, I used glue to give the texture for bubbled paint

my bother donated a loco that overheated,so I repainted it - you may recognise the livery lol - and aged it, you can see more of the leaves here scattered
The picture with leaves on the red vW failed to load so I am adding it here and I clearly need to limit the pictures per post as the server is not a happy bunny,so you limit makes sense
