On Saturday, Sue and I went to Faversham in Kent, and whilst I was there, I visited THE MODEL SHOP in Preston Steer, Faversham.
I was able to buy two items that I need for my floating shelf model railway, a bag of Busch pine trees …
… and a rural back scene.
The former will get some additional foliage, and the latter will be fitted to a 3mm plywood board.
I have since bought two more bags of Hornby trees via Amazon and now have more than enough trees for my current floating shelf model railway project … and several more!
I really like the irregular shape of those pines! They looks better than most.
ReplyDeleteRoger,
DeleteI must admit that they look a lot less like bottle brushes than many others.
All the best,

BOB,
ReplyDeleteGood to see your pressing on with your model rail project- with the back scene and pine trees the railway should look terrific when completed. Cheers. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI recently decided that I would not rush this project but take my time and get it right ... or at least they way I want it to be.
All the best,
Bob
A real hobby shop a rare animal (sadly) some good purchases though., Cheers Tony

ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exiled FoG,
DeleteI wish that there were more of them.
All the best,

Very nice back drops and trees Bob. You're lucky to find a Model Shop. I'm interested in seeing more as you put it together.
ReplyDeleteI've watched a couple of videos of other peoples' Shelf Layouts; it's very creative.
Maudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteCheers! I really like the back scene that I found as it is very generic countryside.
The model shop is such a rarity these days and it’s worth supporting them when you find one,
Some of the other floating shelf layouts are very interesting and inspiring to those of us who are striving to build their own layouts,
All the best,
Bob
Good haul there, Bob. Faversham is a nice little town, and the model shop is one of those rare finds we occasionally run into on our travels - very handy!
ReplyDeleteMartin S.,
DeleteCheers! I think that I was able to buy some great items from The Model Shop and will certainly go back there again.
My wife and I like Faversham, especially on market days … and we always come away with bagfuls of stuff.
All the best,
Bob
Can't beat a good old fashioned model shop Bob. I remember when Eltham Models had a Hinchliffe display stand back in the 1970's :) Great backscene, that will work well. Looking forward to seeing more.

‘Lee,
DeleteI used to visit Etham Models every time I was in the area, but unfortunately it is now long gone … just like the ones that used to be in Welling and Bexley Village.
All the best,
Bob
