Attached (hopefully; so here goes) is a copy of a method I used to make rocks on my old HO layout. There is also a DIY method of making ground foam cheaply; a large amount for a very small price. Attached files Cheap foam foliage, scenery and trees for model trains.pdf
Graeme, just dowloaded your file, what a fantastic layout and a great how to as well. Apologies for not getting back to you with regards to your PM on how to upload a word document with pictures loaded on it. I shall hopefully be speaking with my jack of all trades Paul later this evening if he is around and shall see if i can get to the bottom of the query. It would be great to have your post loaded directly as it is a great post with fantastic photos. again, many thanks for posting up and please bear with me whilst I try and get a resolution to the posting issue. many thanks toto

Unfortunately that layout is no longer with me as I wasn't using it because of its location in the shed which is like a freezer for over half the year so I sold it to fund my G Scale purchases. The person who bought it moved on a trailer from here to Brisbane, whether it still exists I have no idea. I moved it from Townsville in North Queensland (this might explain the low cold tolerance) to down here, I did add the line running up to the top level, in its original form it was powered by 3 SLA Batteries (one for each controller) topped up by trickle chargers which gave the smoothest DC possible. I still have some HO pieces that I couldn't bear to part with and when I retire I plan to join a club and run them there.[sub][/sub][sup][/sup]
No such thing as retirement Graeme, you just change what you are doing & work at your pace you want. Here is a retirement joke for you. Three elderly men, Eddie, Jenkin and Martin men go to the doctor's for their memory test. It's a miracle they remembered the appointment! Anyway, the doctor begins by asking Eddie, "What is five times five?" "191," is his reply. The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to Jenkin, "It's your turn. What is five times five?" "Wednesday," replies Jenkin man. The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay Martin it's your turn. What's five times five?" "Twenty five," says Martin. "That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get your answer?" "Easy," says Martin, "just subtract 191 from Wednesday." Andrew Sandbar & Mudcrab Railway
