"Day and Night Hintergründe" Refs; 2875, 2876. They also have "regular" backdrop pictures. See: http://www.busch-model.c...katalog/d/uwg/130-h0.htm All backdrop pictures are listed as numbers 2871 - 2878.

Joined: 02/07/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,448 Location: Italy		It's three years since I've bought a Back drop CD with many images that can be combined by a photo software in to a unique and original image. At last I've found the time to do my first job, this is my new backdrop for freight yard. Here the link to the site, http://www.modellbahn-hintergrund.com/ the CD can be found also by firma Busch http://www.busch-model.com/katalog/d/artikel/2870-h0.htm Note, as always, a plywood base, some tracks and a backdrop are enough to give the impression like something almost real What about to move this topic in layout construction tips?
