Yard Junk

nother interesting issue to keep me informed and inspired. Sadly, I seem to have evolved into a Mode! Railway Administrator far more than a modeller, so AMRM provides me with a welcome distraction every two months - thanks for that! In respect to the article ‘Yard Junk’ (page 30 of the October 2020 issue of the AMRM), I should like). though OO scale, they offer a range of resin castings that would be suitable to add that detritus around our railway yards and lineside properties. Whilst naturally quite British, there are quite a few items that would suit Australia too. I should know, I have used them on a number of layouts (both my own and those of friends) with success. Thank you also for the series of articles on modern image facilities i.e. Welsh Point etc. I hope to submit some articles of my own from my extensive travels around Victoria and New South Wales 1994-2005 soon. Thank you again for AMRM.
