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.
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.
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.
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.
The product R7228 refers to a single Hornby Large Pine Tree model.
No, the Hornby Large Pine Tree comes ready to be placed on your layout; no assembly is required.
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.
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.
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: The Hornby Large Pine Tree is designed for straightforward placement. Simply position it on your desired location on the layout. For a more permanent fixture, consider using a small amount of model scenery glue (not included) to secure the base to the terrain. Ensure the base is flat against the surface for stability.
Compatibility: This tree is fully compatible with Hornby's extensive range of model railway tracks and accessories. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with other items in the Hornby SkaleScenics range, as well as general model railway diorama components.
Care: To maintain its appearance, gently dust the tree periodically with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this could damage the material and affect its realistic look.
