My Big Model Railway Build - #13. Hill Scenics! Some might cringe at my methods!!

#hornbyrailways , #modelrailways , #bachmann , #modeltrains
Time to add scenics to the hillside. I have no real structure to this - I just mess around with different products and see how it turns out…
I use a mixture of fine turf, course turf and underbrush with some sea foam trees along the way!
My retirement project - Grandads trains! A work in progress consisting of a 5 line layout over 2 levels, complete with turntable, landscaping and various buildings including a mainline station in OO gauge. DCC controlled via Z21.
I’m 2 years into this project so please subscribe and join me as the layout progresses.

Thank you so much for referring me to Osbourne Models regarding “Flexible Stone Walling”. I was able to obtain 4 packages which will go a long ways toward helping my scenery projects. Bruce Cronk, Star Idaho, USA.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

I know you're talking about the hill scenics in this video, but I love the wall in the beginning of the video, and the aging on the cap stones.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thank you. Yes, I’m pleased with how the walls looks 👍

All looking good and who cares about your methods? There is no right or wrong way, especially when you get the results you have!

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Ah thanks. I just keep messing with materials until I think it looks ok!

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Thank you very much

[@Mapplewell_Park]

Looks really good. I’ve got an area of my layout which I little unsure what to do with. Was looking at the flexible foam walls and think you might have just sold them to me 👍

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

I do like them. They’re not the cheapest but they do look good 👍

[@brucecronk95]

I am building a British Model Railway in Star Idaho USA. I would appreciate it if you could recommend stockists in the UK where I might purchase “flexibble stone walling” like you used in your video.

[@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt]

Hi. I obtained mine from a model shop called Osborne Models in the UK. Not sure of any other stockists I’m afraid 👍

[@AllSortsOfStuff58]

Looks alright to me. If you like it, what does it matter anyway? Enjoy...
