Whether in a rural or urban setting, the addition of railway infrastructure can transform a train set into a railway layout. Modelling Tunnels, Embankments, Walls and Fences for Model Railways demonstrates how to build these essential features and place them into a railway layout. It describes the unique challenges, techniques and materials for each element, and provides plenty of practical advice on how to realistically model these crucial aspects of a landscape. Shows how to incorporate topographical features into a layout, from planning to execution. Examines the importance of baseboard construction and track laying when modelling a landscape. Explains practical considerations and techniques for building tunnels. Provides expert guidance on choosing the most suitable railway boundary. Considers the use of vegetation, animals and small buildings to bring layouts to life. Demonstrates the use of ready-to-plant items, and kit- and scratch-building techniques.
