Crisis Rail Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Taking a break from "Castleton Road" due to parts shortages..... I have started yet another diorama with the intention of making extensive use of the excellent International Models Distribution Depot backscene. After a little searching I have found it is the one situated near Stoke City's Britannia Stadium and have named it as such. Stock will be Intermodals with VGA's and such - Freightliner EWS 66 Traction. Track - basic - A single headshunt to a run round loop with buffered storage sidings - The headshunt is inspired by the LANFINA reception sidings at Preston Docks - A fiddle yard can be added to the side. Here is a few basic images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1722 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 i agree, looks a superb idea! What did you stick the backscene on with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 i agree, looks a superb idea! What did you stick the backscene on with? I included the photo of the blue aerosol as I get asked this question frequently....! - Bostik "FASTACK" - similar to Spraymount - tricky - you have to be fast and you dont get a second chance - best of luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1722 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Ah I was so taken with the backscene that I didn't notice the applicant! Whoops! Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 The backdrop looks fantastic. I like the idea of this small 'plank'. I look forward to your updates with interest as I keep thinking about a small plank layout similar to what you are creating here. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cromptonnut Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I haven't come across this particular range of pre-printed photo backscenes before - now having looked at them on the International Models website I can see an order heading their way fairly soon. The only question of course is which one to pick! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question of course is which one to pick! ....buy a few....! (I am in no way connected to IM) you will need them for practice tricky to perfect but the results are well worth it - I would not like to have a go at a 10' run though..........

Sweeney Todd Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi , They do look really good , on the site is suggests using Ready Mixed Solvite - Super High Performance - Wallcoverings Adhesive , and fixing it as you would wall paper to a wall after "sizing" the wall . Not sure if that would get the same fantastic result as what you have done ... have you tried different methods ? Shaun . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that would get the same fantastic result as what you have done ... have you tried different methods ? Shaun . I tried Border and Overlap adhesive firstly - touched the front of the paper and it was ruined you CANNOT rub or move the fronts of the backscene with a damp cloth like wallpapering they are far too delicate - SPRAYMOUNT is the best option but make sure you give the MDF a good covering (it tends to soak in) before positioning - Even with this one there is slight blistering and rippling when I leave it in the cold conservatory but when it is warm it "pulls back" hard work..! but well worth it.
