Noch, their UK distributor Gaugemaster and Hornby Magazine are presenting a British Model Railway Diorama Competition open to all members of Model Rail Forum. You are invited to enter the competition and build an A4 size diorama depicting a British railway scene in any scale and of any epoch using at least two Noch scenery products.
Enter and you could win one of the following cool prizes:
Noch Gras-Master, value: £125; Hornby Magazine subscription, value £40; Noch Scenery Starter Kit, value: £20
1st prize is a Noch Gras-Master & Hornby Magazine Yearly subscription
4 Runners up each receive a Noch Scenery Starter Kit
For someone like me who is probably years away from doing any nice detailed scenery type work this looks like a great chance to indulge. Having read the rules and discovered the A4 in question is not one Sir Nigel's finest
, I have a rather delicate question. Some of the Noch products are, how can I put this ? X rated. Is there any guidance available on this? I'm guessing that their use would need to be discrete if the winners are going to go "on the road".

Shame about the type of A4, would have been a chance to show of my new Merlin. B)
I quite fancy giving this a whirl. It would be good to use in the house as a display medium. Bit small though. Guess that's the challenge.
Is this one of the competitions where you provide updates of how you are doing as you go along? Or do you just do a grand unveiling on the day?
Maybe I'd better go back and read the instructions.

Tell that to the Americans! They were amazed to see my photos of my grandson with Thomas and the Fat Controller at Didcot. They thought Thomas was American and indeed some of the DVDs include US characters. Thomas model railway items sell very well here too. But Disney is so intrusive the local library does not file Pooh Bear under AA Milne but Disney!
Click on the image above for a Noch figures advert. It has a list of all the retailers in the UK where you can get Noch products. Many shops offer Noch items online too.
