Project Sheet 12 1/2" x 14 1/8" Summer Grass Roll

Almost every model railway has areas that are outside the railway perimeters. Such areas still need to be covered by something to disguise the baseboard underneath.

There are many products under the banner of ‘ground cover’ to help you create a realistic environment for your railway to sit in.

Ground cover can include everything from natural vegetation, areas of water to man-made areas such as roadways, paving, cobblestones, concrete, quarries, bowling greens, crop fields, farmyards, canals, to name but a few.

There are 2 main types of product that you can use to replicate your chosen scene:

• scatter materials that are sprinkled onto the selected area,
• and sheet material that is cut to size and fixed down to the selected area.

This sheet material from the extensive range by Woodland Scenics, provides the means to quickly cover large areas of your baseboard with less effort compared to using scatter material.

The down side is the ground cover ends up very uniform and we recommend that it is used as a base for adding further scenic items on top.

This sheet can be used to represent summer, or less well-maintained, grass. It can be fixed down with WS161 Mat Adhesive, dilute PVA or wallpaper paste. A larger roll is available; WRG5134.
