Modelling the Landscape

The Peco 'Shows You How' series of booklets give practical, clearly laid out information and instruction on a wide range of model railway topics. Providing a convincing landscape for your layout will provide an authentic setting for your trains; this booklet looks at the principles behind putting together what is on the other side of the railway fence. For more information on scenic detailling, see our booklets Modelling Water (No 12), Detailing the Landscape (No 1), Adding the Background (No 15), and Creating the Backscene (No 16).

All modellers, regardless of their skill levels, need a little help sometimes. One source of help is reference material.

One of the best printed sources of knowledge is the Peco “Shows You How” series of information booklets. Together, these cover many aspects of railway modelling. This one tells you the basics you need to know about the art of landscape modelling.
