Hello,
We have had numerous contacts from people not having received the newsletter below, due to a technical issue. We have decided to resend it. Please accept our apologies if you have already received it.
We are trying a different approach on our Facebook page , showing trying to incorporate products you might like into some storytelling. After more than 10 instalments, the result is a bit otherworldly and whimsical at the moment. Feel free to let us know what you think and whether we should carry in this direction. The Facebook page address is https://www.facebook.com/udiowmodelrailway
Derelict buildings, ruins and small terrain pieces with rocks and paths create the atmosphere of any diorama. They are also essential when wargaming as they break the monotony of a mat and create places to hide and take cover. The range we keep in stock is large but here are a few examples. They are suitable for 25mm and 28mm wargames but we reckon the terrain pieces can easily be used with other scales including OO or N gauge. First a few buildings:

A bit of life goes a long way to make a layout interesting. Animals are a great solution as they are ever present in the countryside as well as inside towns and cities. Now we are not saying you should have pigs in the middle of a train station but you can easily have a flock of birds gathering there. Here are some available in OO gauge, part of the ranges we carry.
Finally, this is time for a new issue of the free Railway Magazine Guide to Modelling. In this October issue:
- What’s in the Shop
- Letting Off Steam
- Starting Out
- Ask a Daft Question
- Beginner's guide to airbrushing
- Locomotive detailing
- Super detailing tinplate wagons
- How to organise an exhibition

The articles on locomotive detailing written by Isle of Wight resident Matt Wickham is well worth reading.
