Thanks Pete.

And its back on a lack shelf. Well,well!

I am really enjoying this build though - so far at any rate. I am back ont he reserch now as before I can progress much further I need to try to find out a few details.

Its amazing how much the landscape on a layout transforms the feel of it. I can really get a sense now on how the layout is going to look and it looks like its going to be a cracker! Are you planning on having a higher backscence at all? The one you have there (assuming it is a backscene of course!) looks a little low.

When I did the landscape on mine I tried not to have too many flat surfaces as they are harder to disguise.

Hi Missy.

Once I've laid on some plaster bandage the only flat areas I'll have left are the station, yard and sidings!!

One advantage of a relatively tiny layout!

I am intending to build up the yard / road areas with DAS or similar. I tried this on the other layout and thought it gave a fair representation of compressed ash and cinders, especially when some grime was dry brushed on. I'm not sure though whether to do this with the platform, or just stick down some wet and dry paper...

As you will see, I have added a further picture showing the tunnel polyfillered into the hill, with a 2F next to it to show how narrow the tunnel is/was. You can't seem to add them to comments afterwards.

I am waiting some 1/4 inch flexi-ply to add in a backscene which will stand 12" high and slot in in front of the present back board.

Regards,

Chris

Blast! There goes my commission!

That's an interesting thought Don.

I doubt many of those trees were there at all sixty years ago.

However, I think it might have to be rule #1, because I like the look of the heavily foliaged cutting!

I also intend to use trees to disguise the western exit hole-in-the-backscene-thingy..
