Fear not, I take my chances on the eBay, at least then I know I'm being fleeced upfront On the Toplight front, the only mention I can find is from Slaters March 2020 catalogue, with NYA next to it. Even us Southern boys want them 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bastard! Cooper craft does not have them. The tooling and ownership reverted back to Slaters, who are slowly bringing the 4mm range back to life. They've already released most of the wagons and are working to release the carriages as and when they get the time to do so. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45568 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I can't think of a better photo to highlight John Whiteley's Flicker feed, as noted elsewhere in the fora by Andy Kirkham. Relevant to the thread too! Cheers from Oz, Peter C. 17 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted June 30, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 For those with deeper pockets Polak do some rather nice gorse bushes, for a price. I decided to redo mine myself using a base of dyed Woodland Scenic poly fibre. Here I soaked it overnight in a raw umber acrylic paint mix. When dry I stretched it out and fixed it to the layout with neat pva, again leaving to dry. Then a 50/50 water pva solution was applied and the dark green Noch leaves were generously added and again left to dry. The final touch is to add the yellow flowering foliage from WS to the top. Gorse generally flowers all year round and is more profuse than you'd think. 21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
