F-UnitMad Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Trees can be quite effective view blockers, I used some to hide the exit on my old portable layout.... Your challenge is the lack of width between the track & baseboard edge... 🤔👍 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll be able to find a way around that. 🤔 Tree foliage does get shaped by the repeated passage of vehicles by them. Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my front garden: the fir tree has grown that way (I’ve cut the bush back a bit to give the tree more room, but it’s easy to see how it has impeded the natural growth of the tree), Keith: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gradually refitting mine with the new Kadee roller bearing trucks, so the bearing caps rotate like on my Atlas cars. Plus metal wheels are always a Good Thing, too. The Kadee trucks are a straight swap. They also cost rather more than the car itself!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
