The HO backdrops seem to fit just right behind the buildings. From a distance it looked good, hurt my back doing it to much leaning over! Thanks everyone. Roo.
Nev, Your above text answered all my questions but one.......How did you end up with a curved corner?
Great stuff by the way!

Hi Simon.
Years ago (35?) when I first set up the room for trains the room had two double sliding doors and two windows it was originally a games room for our four children.
When that era finished I placed a backdrop right around the room using flexi plywood..... plywood that can bend easily without breaking ideal for curves I thought it looked better than square corners. Here are the other corners the joins are showing now in some places but after 35 years not to bad. Roo.
Still looking good Neville. They used that radius bending flexible plywood in an episode of This Old House when (IIRC) re-making a curved roof and porch supports of some kind. Great idea.
