Q I found last month’s depot feature really interesting. Can I ask how George created the sleeper crossing on his layout. Is it real wood?
Brian Keanan, by email
George says: The materials for the sleeper crossing came courtesy of a laser-cut wood kit from Scale Model Scenery. There are a couple of different packs available, but I opted for the ‘weathered’ version, which features a much greater degree of surface grain texture, along with chair bolt holes. Rendered as two strips of sleepers, they can be easily cut into individual members and each pack provides enough material to create a continuous crossing of 184mm in length.
