Re: Trying to create a British hill. Advice please, before

Post script: I did make the hill, will need to get around to posting a pic soon. And so it remained, and trees, and hedgerows, and grass were added to it. I was never terribly pleased with my rock cuts, but I did my best. After about six months I decided I need the space in the garage more than the ...

Re: OO Terminus Help, Please

A rather late response, but I did actually settle upon the Walther's Milwaukee Affair. It has the dominating look I was after, and the 3D printed thing is rather dainty and appears dwarfed by British rail carriages.

Re: Henley: "Nessie on the Rampage."

What happens when the model train muse steps out one's door? Having furiously assaulted model trains with renewed vigor
