Hello,

Before we start, we would like to remind you that all images in this newsletter are links that you can click on, sending you to pages with more details on each item including full description and sometimes videos. If anything is still unclear, please do contact us.

Backscenes help create the atmosphere of your layout or diorama. They also hide the real world. They exist in a variety of styles from traditional paintings to photographic images and in several sizes. While there is no real scale to a picture, in N gauge you may prefer to have smaller images. However, this is your layout so it is your choice!

Please note several of our backscenes can be combined together to create a larger image. Simply look for the reference of the backscene and the letter of the set. For instance 207 A will connect seamlessly to 207 B which will connect as well to 207 C and so on.

We offer about 50 backscenes but please note our favourite is the overcast sky, suitable for most locations in the UK.

Here are a few examples:

 

 

 

And a selection specifically designed for N gauge:

 

 

We get asked every week for ideas on what to add to a layout to make it "alive". Figures are the solution! We have in stock a wide range but where do you start? Here is a selection of our most requested items in OO gauge. You can also see the full range by clicking here.

Send us an email or give us a call to check availability or to reserve anything, whatever scale you model in. As usual, if we do not have in stock what you are looking for, we will order it for you and you will get it fast (usually within a week if the manufacturer has it in stock). We place weekly orders with most suppliers.

Remember, you can park for free for one hour on the High Street and for as long as want on the Esplanade. So no excuse not to come and visit us!

Upstairs Downstairs is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am till 4.30pm. We are closed only on Monday and Sunday.
