Oh yeah nearly forgot , real smoke from chimneys can be done with incense cones (got mine from Amazon), they even come with their own protective metal stand and are 100% safe, they also make the model room smell nice, mine were called "Mermaids Tears" , How the **** does anyone know what they smell like ?

Flash of inspiration yesterday , she that shall be obeyed decided we were having a new Christmas tree this year so the old one had to be disposed of. I noticed the end of the Green branches were coated with tiny white bits of polystyrene , I cut a few off and painted the fake snow bits various shades of Red Blue Yellow etc with acrylic paint pens and they make excellent flowers to place in self adhesive tufts of grass and are very convincing. Now have a bag full of the tree tips. Really happy with the results.

Thanks David , they are starting at baseboard level , and it is a terraced block , I was thinking about having steps leading up to the doors from the road but I see your point about laying the ground levels in front first. I did something very similar fer me Da ( Who was a GWR fanatic ) about 30 odd years ago but I'll be ****** if I can remember how I did it Thanks again for the advice.

Name now sorted, It's gonna be called "KILGARVAN WHARF" , Kilgarvan is a pretty village in Co. Kerry but is also the name of the area we live in here in Cobh. Now transferring all further posts to a new thread called "KILGARVAN WHARF" See ye all there for all posts on the new layout. Sláinte , Murph

WOW , now this one is impressive and has given me some great ideas , forgive the annoying ads

HA HA , no I'm not thank god ,, we've a local lad fer all that , could do with a plasterer too , the hole in the wall at the back was to accommodate a GWR autocoach overhang on the tight bend of the old layout , luckily it wont be seen when the backscenes go on this one , they're actually arriving today , the press shelf the layout sits on slides in and out on runners if I remove the loose side section so I've access to the back right now , so all the work there will be done first.
