Railway song of the week

Reader Wayne Prowse in Australia contacted us to suggest this song. The Indian Pacific train, which runs from Sydney to Perth, inspired Slim Dusty's song "Indian Pacific," recorded in 1981. Slim Dusty, a legendary Australian country music figure, was celebrated for his contribution to the "bush ballad" genre, with a career spanning nearly seven decades. Known as Australia's "King of Country Music," Dusty released over a hundred albums, earned numerous accolades and became a cultural icon. His music, particularly his trucking songs, continued to resonate with long-distance drivers, keeping them company on long hauls. Dusty's contributions to Australian music and culture earned him numerous awards.

Are you looking to add some realistic greenery to your N gauge layout? Look no further than Tasma Products' range of miniature plants and crops. Their N gauge offerings include straw bales, cabbages and delphiniums - perfect for creating rural scenes or adding detail to gardens. The straw bale set gives you 25 bales in both round and rectangular shapes. For vegetable patches, you can plant 18 realistic cabbages. And to add some height and colour, why not include 12 delicate delphiniums standing 12mm tall?



But that's not all for N gauge enthusiasts. They also offer strawberry plants, primroses and bulrushes to further enhance your miniature world. Imagine a quaint cottage garden with 20 strawberry plants or a colourful display of 18 primroses. For those waterside scenes, 20 realistic bulrushes will add that perfect touch of authenticity.





Lastly, for those detailed OO gauge scenes, consider their apple saplings, sedge and nettles. Ten apple saplings can create a young orchard, while a sheet of sedge measuring 125mm x 155mm can cover a large area of marshy ground. And for those neglected corners of your layout, why not add some realistic nettles?



With Tasma's extensive range of flora for both N and OO gauge, you're sure to find the perfect plants to bring your layout to life.
