There's no rules about not using natural products,, besides you have about two billion acres of bush country you can snip bits off and that's allowing for all the bits of it that want to kill you for a cheap laugh.... 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find they are so natural, because they are, just need to add the foliage. If I remember correctly @westerhamstation grew some plants for his layout about this time of year that made superb trees/ bushes. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2022 Blade-barrows were important in the days of porters, luggage and parcels. They were known as 'wheels', hence the one I used in the Parcels Office at Dorking North in 1966/7 was inscribed "Mrs A's wheels". Mrs Alexander, a war widow and right old-biddy type, was the Chief Clerk, and she and the SM would spend long hours locked in his office for purposes probably other than agreeing the accounts...... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I gave mine too much water and they died off and didn't get much taller than 10cm. It's probably a bit late to have another go and plant some more this year. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it works better? Now normally I would say a cropped pic works better, but not in this case. That is so balanced seems to give the viewer more information, if that makes any sense. Its a 👍 from me. 😃 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted May 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Normally I edit out any surplus areas but I thought in this case I would leave in the point control box for Encombe Town station. Compared to some I have seen on the RMWeb this is very, very simple but works the best out of the other two version I had. It also highlights the difference in levels between the farm and the creamery. Edited May 8, 2022 by KNP 30 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
