Thank you ☺️

Thanks very much 👍

Thanks. Yes, I’m hoping to replace it at some point with one that has more of a hill theme 👍

Thank you. Yes of course. I always use Woodland Scenics scatters. I start with some sieved, dried soil from the garden as a base. I then use WS Fine Turf soil, Fine Turf earth blend and Fine Turf weeds in patches. I then cover in Blended Turf green blend. These are all applied onto neat PVA. Once dried I scatter over Course Turf - olive green and medium green and seal everything with PVA/water mix

@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt Thanks for the info much appreciated

Thank you. No problem. The Heljan turntable is wired directly into my DCC bus for power but for now i’m operating it via the supplied control unit - I’ve not yet been brave enough to look at decoder control!

@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt okay thanks, I’ve recently had a look at the manual on gaugemasters website and it just shows that a control box comes with it and doesn’t mention a decoder or anything but I’ll keep doing my research, aswell I found quite a few MDF buildings etc including the ones you’ve got and im planning on using them rather than plastic or resin kits, for my layout, as some of the ones I’ve got may need some extra work doing to them but we’ll see. The main advantage tho we these MDF kits are that they’re sturdy and I’d be able to make them exactly how I’d like them which is great. Will be posting some videos and photos on my channel as soon as I can, I’ll leave a link in this comment if that’s okay with you, it’s a great hobby this and definitely an investment aswell, so i wonder like other people why some say it’s dying when in my opinion I think it’s only just getting started especially with all the exiting new things coming to the hobby aswell.

@GamingFnaticYT I like the MDF buildings as well. Yes, do send a link for your channel. I’d love to see it 👍

@@Grandadstrainroom-pn3tt this is the link to it youtube.com/@Callums_Model_RailwayYT?si=doFT1N7qH_nc7sw2, haven’t posted anything yet. Planning on to. I’ve got some really nice models from various manufacturers even some metal diecast kit built models.

Cheers 👍
