Tree Attack

The last few weekends I decided I need to focus on the trees on the layout now that I have my track plan bedded down.  For years I have had lichen lying round which I bought many moons ago and I decided to have a go with making the trees look half decent.

Anyway here are some photos of my efforts - I think I need to get back to them and give them a fuller,  healthier look.

Changing Points

Have you ever worked with a tool that always bought you joy when using it.  Maybe it was the quality of the build or the end result of the work done.  I took the plunge to buy the Modratec System for changing points on the layout.  Now every-time I use it, it is just a joy to use!  It has made operation/shunting 50 fold more enjoyable.  Constructing the kit was pretty straight forward and the quality of the kit is top rate.  Harold has done an exceptional job making sure the system is very reliable with adjustments seldom needed.   His ideas and concept is really worth a hats off!  I was so impressed with it, I bought another set of the 6 point level frame.  If you haven't had a look at the system, hop over to his site.
