A while back I asked for help and suggestions for a view blocker for my layout (Roding Reach); the slight complication being that the track runs on a viaduct. So, the usual road overbrige was not possible.

Luckily you lot came up trumps and I was particularly taken by the idea of usin a hydraulic accumulator tower.

The only fly in the ointment was that I liked the idea so much the tower seems to be destined for centrer stage!

For anyone intersted I built a box from white plasticard and then faced it withh Slaters 2mm brick.

I also tried a slightly different technique to produce the faded letterng onto the brick, namely using a white gel pen. Scrubbing over the lettering once dry and dry brushing with frame dirt and weathered black helped. Having produced the lettering freehand it helped disguise the inevitable differences in font and size! I did have a go at the "transfers over white paint" idea that you recommended but that will be something I'll come back to for a second go sometime.

The white gel pen also worked nicely for a little bit of grafitti I wanted to produce - photos to follow....
