First color cheap thow-away paint brush with highlighters or makers.
Place some glue of choice in location.
Cut small tuft from brush. Place into glue.
After glue is dry, trim if you want & remove extra stalks.
Thank you and great modeling. I have been doing that for years. It also works great in yards and sidings to keep cars from rolling away. Just put a tuft hear and there inside and outside the rails but trimmed down a bit. Old tan colored brushes work for late summer/fall foliage.

Thanks for the cool scenery technique. I’m always interested to learn new tricks for making good looking scenery. This is definitely something I’ll use in the future.
That is a great tip.
Thanks,
My kind of technique. Simple, easy, and CHEAP. A much better idea than spending a couple hundo on one of those static gizmos.
Thank you very much, never knew about that trick, they look great though. hmm, wonder if my mom has some extra paintbrushes…
Wow! I’m definitely going to use that on my layout. Thanks!

Nice, looks a little like wheat grass.
I use old fashioned twine. It’s not my original idea at all. Model railroaders have used it for years.
I cut a short piece of twine, separate the fibers, and glue standing on end to the layout. I put a dab of white glue at the desired location before placing the fibers on it. Later, the fibers can be colored as desired.
Example is in the photo below of a scene on my branch line. It is below the caboose and locomotive.
