I have found somebody making trackside scenery

thanks richard , her screen name is 8876cheryl

I have to agree with Steve on this one - at least half of the fun is in doing it yourself, as I suspect he will soon discover it is actually far more than that.

The "I done that" factor is very important in the hobby, let's face it the cost of some accesories is bad enough without the cost of bespoke scenery making.

hi they made track side hills for me , like the ones they have at the minute , they are very good and it saves me buying bags of scatter and plaster that i would only use a little and have half empty bays hanging around , i am more interested in building running stock , so hence i found it usefull buying bespoke senics , happy modeling ......

I have to add my 2p's worth here - why does it seem more "acceptable" to have rolling stock made and/or painted for you if you prefer the scenic side than having scenics made for you if you are more into the rolling stock side.

Now I can produce passable scenics & are better at the electrical & mechanical things, so am quite happy to leave that side of things to BRITHO (or sometimes to repair the devastation after I have altered something), whilst aforesaid gentleman is more than happy top leave the technical bits to me.

I'm with Brian. Everyone has different aspects of the hobby that they enjoy.

I am of the simple opinion that if there is something that you like and you can afford it, then you should buy it.

But it's all a bit of a contradiction. I build my own trees from scratch. I build and paint model kits of building. BUT I buy all the locomotives and rolling stock for my layout. Yes I could probably build them, but for me it is more a question of Time and also to an extent motivation.

I look at what some people do on here and wish I had the motivation to do it.

This hobby is magnificent for allowing different people to do different things.
