Over the past 20 years I have had a few loft based layouts for the kids ..
and have painted roads etc and put Hornby buildings up but have never had a go at putting scenery down on a layout and as my main layout is no more ( being re planned ) I decided I needed a section of track to test loco's on and something to have a go at scenery on so off I went to see what bits I had that I was not going to use on my main layout and this is what I came up with I still have quite a bit to finish off :-

Not had much time to do a lot to this but I have added some detail to the tunnel's and put a base rst color on the rails ready for weathering.....
That's looking really good. I like the tunnel entrances, nicely done.
Looks fantastic, great work. Well done.
Thanks for the comments guys. I'm hopeing to add a bit more detail then weather the track as I've had a go on a few sample bits and I think I'm ready to take the plunge.
Grand bit of work and love that tunnel entrance
look forward to seeing more.

cheers rab.

As im now a pro with a spray gun ( Not... ) I decided to do something with the trees I had, they came from ebay ( china ) and when they arrived they where bright green so i decided to spary them darker and this is how they came out :-
That's definitely an improvement

A lovely thread and a great job, I always enjoy the scenery angle to layouts.

I'm hoping to start something similar in the next few months and have been using this layout as a source of ideas: http://forum.mjf.no/forum_posts.asp?TID=15...ra-togkjelleren

But to show how well building up detail works -

Please..DOn't mention FRANCE in any postings The Fannit Guys will pick it up and dismember......

You could always ask one of the MODS to delete,for you if/when they have the time.....

A week..with the snow and all, You'd have to survive off the self heating packets of ALL DAY BREAKFAST's I have in the storeroom......

Exactly the reason I use an external blog on my own website and link to that rather than putting images in posts etc. I stay in control of the technology!!
