Heki ground foliage and some more dead fall, the areas in between will be filled with more bushes. Another large tree made up and screwed in place

    Steve your foliage and tree modelling is exceptional. The different shades and courses of Bush blend in nicely inbetween the trees.
    The weathering on your wagons is nicely done.:thumbs:

I've wanted to do an Ivey covered dead tree and this is the result

    This is a close-up of 'Marcway' track, £60 for 10 x 1 yard lengths (+ P&P if you're not near Sheffield!)

    Liking the trackwork Steve and I'm impressed with the new C&L mouldings... tell me I wanted to order some of these new track items from him for my own Leek Station layout but his website said he wasn't working from the office due to some structural issues on ventilation. I presume he is back up and running again.
