What is the best way to create realistic grass on model railway layouts?

Static grass is an alternative to using grass mats or scatter to replicate grass on a model railway or other diorama. The advantage of using static grass is that the grass fibres stand on end when in situ giving it a more authentic appearance than other methods.

To apply static grass, a special applicator is required. The applicator works by applying a static charge to the grass whilst in the applicator. The grass is then sprinkled onto an area of layout prepared with glue and as a result of the applied charge, the grass will settle vertically.

The results achieved by using regular scatter are good there's no doubt that, but, the results achieved when using static grass are outstanding.
