@MrWolf not seen a copy, anything on Polsarrett?

 

It was actually the August issue and yes there was a brief description and a photo of some tanky thing shunting.

Hopefully nothing offensive like a pannier.

That's a wonderful shot, lots of rusty tin and a loco barging its way through the weeds.

Morning Luke, 

 

The shrubberyesque stuff is courtesy of MBR, a shubbery firm from Poland. Top types,well priced and a quick turnaround. A few of us have succumbed to their products and they strike a good balance on cost/quality v time needed to produce similar. 

 

Theses particular bushes are in fact the branches cut away from a set of quite generic trees, then gently teased out. 

 

I've used the trees, unmolested, on Ewe and they can be seen behind the Peckett here....

 

 

 

Cut away from the trunk and spread out on the embankment  here.......

 

 

 

And plonked here.....

 

 

 

 

As others have kindly commented, they are nice and airy. 

 

 

Rob.

MBR are quite the best quality scenics that I've ever used. As Rob has said previously, the 'shrubbery' items are particularly good. I found that they can be used to good effect both as clumps and individual stems to represent nettles and the like.

As mentioned before, they are added to the Standard Sheep Operating Procedures.

Rob the shrubbery looks very good. I must look at MBR website, thanks for sharing. 👍

[Graham T]

Have you tried the stuff from these Dutch chaps Rob?  https://www.larsopthofscenery.nl/en_GB/

 

It's also very good.

Morning all, 

 

Busy day ahead. If all goes well, I'm hoping to be off to set up Sheep Dip early this afternoon. 

Still a few minor tweaks to make but overall, I'm quite happy. Track was checked and cleaned yesterday evening. Final hoover before packing. The venue is roughly 20 minutes from Chateau Sheep, depending on traffic so I'm looking forward to a less frantic arrival than at Minehead !
