I really enjoyed this Instagram post or reel / video of this clever Four Seasons layout by modeltrainho

Realisation by modeller Aduna Khor.

It shows the same scene, building and trees modelled throughout four seasons with the same train running through it on a circular track.

A quartered layout using some of the stage design techniques for railway modelling mentioned in my last blog post such as the tunnel / bridge arch.

Perfect for the indecisive modeller – snow? Spring? Autumn?

A simple idea beautifully executed.

It does not have to be the same buildings and trees , it could also be done as four different scenes in four different seasons.

Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures. I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals. I enjoy the paint possibilities of cheap poundstore plastic figures as much as the patina of vintage metal figures. Befuddled by the maths of complex boardgames and wargames, I prefer the small scale skirmish simplicity of very early Donald Featherstone rules. To relax, I usually play solo games, often using hex boards. Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ...
