Sorry, Marty.  I should have told you that you can cut the bottom of the paper vac bags open and close them with foldback clips to make them re-useable.  Bit late now, but someone else might benefit.

That's a mountain of a mountain.  You will have a lot of fun doing the scenery on that. :thumbs

No problems Max, Tracy sorted it :lol:

She's a beaut alright, it's going to take me ages. Thank goodness that it is the biggest of the bunch.

Marty, I do like the looks of your mountain, keep the pictures coming.

I might give your idea of the running vacuum a try when I am sawing the blue foam, those tiny bits get everywhere.

Shhh !!  Don't want health and safety to hear about it. :roll::roll:

It's all looking very spectacular Marty and I think you've achieved your desire to have the railway set in "real" scenery perfectly rather than the scenery around the railway. :pathead

Thanks Gents,

The success of the hill (that wants to be a mountain) in achieving the looked for view block and scenic potential has provided that further enthusiasm for more progress.

I'm working in the shops this Saturday, but more as it comes to hand.

You could always dig a bit out on the North face and stick a woodmans cottage in there, complete with wood stacks :thumbs, save on the tree building/
