[hiffano]

best of luck with the autumnal vegetation

[HARRYMALLARD]

Can the overall size be less than four square feet?

[Terrier]

I've been mightily busy with 'life' last month or so, soon as a few things calm down lifewise, i shall have time, and contentration enough to get cracking on my entry.

[hiffano]

Can the overall size be less than four square feet?

yeah of course it can, it's set at a max size of 4footsquare for double o but can shrink down. Mine will be in n so max of 2foot square, but i'll probably only need 1foot square if that!

[HARRYMALLARD]

It's in 00 anyway

[Gnarly]

Im going to give this a go to use up some dark evenings. Going to use a recent photo, found on the internet of two locos i already own to keep the cost down.



simple photo, looking forward to getting the track right and the background too with the house etc.

Oh.. fair enough 70ft is I little on the large side for as dio. Lol.

One thing that I like about the shot is the discarded rusting track. Any tips on how I could produce that result ? Is it just weathering with paint?

That is seriously the most true to life model picture that I have ever seen, I spent a good five minutes staring at it looking for the flaw that gives it away as a model, and I cannot find it! Absolute brilliance.
