Today’s modeller has access to a huge range of scenery products – so many, in fact, that knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming. This practical guide to the world of modern railway scenery explains not just what products are available, but how and when to use them to achieve results that truly elevate your layout. From shaping the foundations of the landscape to adding the smallest finishing details, each chapter walks you through the essential elements of realistic modelling – including terrain formation, grass and weeds, trees and hedgerows, water effects, figures and scene detailing – showcasing how today’s latest materials and tools can transform your work. Whether you are starting your first layout or refining an established one, this book will help you create a model railway that truly captures the look and feel of the real world.
Peter Marriott has spent more than 40 years working with scenery products, constantly exploring new material and techniques to discover what delivers the most realistic results. He has written six books and contributed over 900 articles to railway modelling magazines across the UK, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. Building dioramas and layouts for both professional commissions and personal enjoyment, he continues to take great pleasure in this remarkable hobby.
