Some interesting terrain bits

[Norm S]

the blog has a few items that were picked up at a model rail shop. I particularly like the rough ground and the rubberised planking is available in different sizes, that would suit various scales.

The rubber planking looks intriguing. I’ve seen flexible rubber stone walls in model railway shops before but not planking. Obviously, with the vertical supports it’s intended for retaining walls as opposed to house facades, but that sort of thing is still useful. We wargames terrain builders probably don’t model “enough” retaining walls and other realistic terrain features like that.

Also, great weathering on the “railway thingy”.

I was interested in the railway wagon, and, after some searching, that it is a twin silo cement wagon (with some bits missing), also used for carrying bauxite.

Yes, thank you, that is it. Looks like I am missing  some gubbins from the top of mine – certainly the walking gantry.

A poster on another forum sent me the below link that is a photo album of these wagons. Glad I didn’t paint it blue now 🙂
