    GARDENING FOR SCENERY

    I enjoy reading every issue of BRM and from your magazine, I gain lots of tips and ideas. I have a large Hornby-Dublo three-rail layout, which my father started just prior to WWII – the locomotives are still going strong!

    I often add cameos to my layout and I found Howard’s article on ‘live’ plants in the Spring 2021 issue of BRM very interesting. When I do gardening, I have the prunings and use them. The larger twigs I use as logs on a bogie bolster wagon. I also have an old grape stalk, which is a tree struck by lightning!

    I also enjoy walking holidays, especially abroad, and when in dry Mediterranean climates, I collect dry lichen from forest trees. This lichen makes wonderful foliage and hedgerows. Keep up the good work with new tips.

    Semaphore Signalling
    The safety of both the railway traveller and personnel has been the reason for installing signals since the 1830s when passenger-carrying rail travel really began. Introduced at that time, the semaphore signal still graces the remaining mechanically-
