APPENDIX III

WHAT SCENIC PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE?

This list shows just some of the many products that are available for making different aspects of scenery on a layout. The number of scenic products available is huge and growing all the time. I first started to prepare this list for my own use in 2007. When I revisited it in late 2014, I doubled the information on it because there are now so many more manufacturers making scenics in the UK.

At the time of writing, the list is as complete as possible, but there are new products and manufacturers that have probably arrived on the scene since I prepared it. I apologize for any errors and omissions. Some of the products listed here are very similar, but they are listed so that if you cannot obtain the products from one company, you can try a different one.
