Michael has a question for readers relating to backdrops.

“How do you create a backdrop of a town on a hill quickly but realistically? We have some print outs from the internet which are good for distant views but we don’t want to spoil these limited areas by unmatched painting. We have some 3D buildings in front but need to complete the view quickly now so that we can get going with the real board and trains. Any ideas for more internet sites offering distant or near views of towns welomed. Big, probably too big, model railway based on Hornby 00 in our attic over three years in the making. We are stuck (held up) on scenery because it needs doing first because it will be difficult to get to once we put establish the complicated set out in front.”
