Medium Country with River Backscene

Whatever standard your modelling skills are, the realism of your model railway can be completely shattered by the absence of a suitable back-scene that completes the ‘picture’. Without one, the illusion is spoilt by the presence of whatever is in the background as you admire your model railway. You can create your own, of course, but there are many and varied products available to provide a quick solution.

This scenic background is part of a range that captures the variety on the British landscape, from industrial cities and docks to small country towns, fields and mountains.

The sheets can be assembled in almost any combination, consistent horizon heights and special extension sheets make it easy to accommodate transitions from town to countryside and back again. The choice of sheet size will obviously depend to some degree on the model scale.

Bear in mind that perspective only ever makes things appear smaller not larger, so if you are unsure, remember 1 golden rule. A backscene that appears to be a larger scale than the foreground models will always look wrong.
