I've been using the Woodland Scenics Fine-Leaf foliage. It looks pretty good - there are branches and small trunks to the bushes and mini-trees. It comes in a clump and needs breaking down, but the affect is good. Nasty crease in the backscene

"I just followed the SatNav"!! The 21st Century comes to Wykeham
(For one day only
).
The business I worked for joined the DX in its infancy in 1975 when the UK had been going through a series of postal strike. I got given this vehicle when I attended a black-tie dinner in Lincoln's Inn, to, at the time, celebrate the DX's forty years in business in the UK. I wonder whether I will be invited to the fiftieth?

One does not question such errors. Just admire the modelling.
Now if it was a remote control vehicle! Would it be a 783 point turn or some 'acey reversing'?
Just an aside. Here, up north, we had a Marshall Snelgrove Department Store. I was looking for the 'Marshall'

Barry,
I will pass on the HGV - looks great but I prefer your layout in the era that is intended....... On that respect, I thought the foliage you posted a few days ago look great and very life like......I am sure however if you could move the tree to the left a little, it would do a wonderful job of hiding the back scene crease, or perhaps you could simply add another tree or large bush.
Would welcome your inputs to my earlier platform surface post, as I seem recall your platforms to be particularly good.
Best regards - Richard

Its arrived
- ordered on the 10th January 2018. One advantage of pre-ordering is that I got it at the 2018 price.
