FAQs

What scale is the Hornby Large Pine Tree designed for?

While not strictly tied to a specific scale, it is designed to be a 'large' pine tree and is compatible with Hornby's range. It works well for creating naturalistic scenes on various model railway scales, but placement should be considered for proportion.

Can I paint or modify the tree?

The tree is designed for immediate use. While modification is possible, it is recommended to test any paints or adhesives on a small, hidden part first to ensure compatibility and achieve the desired effect.

How do I attach the tree to my layout securely?

For permanent placement, a small amount of model scenery glue is recommended to secure the base of the tree to your layout surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.

What is the Hornby SkaleScenics range?

The SkaleScenics range consists of various scenic accessories and materials designed by Hornby to help modelers create realistic and immersive environments for their model railways.

How many trees are included in this product?

The product R7228 refers to a single Hornby Large Pine Tree model.

Does this tree require assembly?

No, the Hornby Large Pine Tree comes ready to be placed on your layout; no assembly is required.

Troubleshooting

Tree is unstable on the layout.

Ensure the base of the tree is flat and even. If necessary, use a small amount of model scenery glue to secure it to the surface.

Tree appears out of scale with the surrounding elements.

Consider the overall scale of your layout. This 'Large' pine might be best suited for specific areas or for layouts where slightly larger scenic elements are preferred. Experiment with placement.

Color or texture appears less realistic.

Gentle dusting with a soft brush can refresh the appearance. For minor imperfections, consider light, careful application of model-specific weathering powders or paints, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
