A good backdrop makes a world of difference to a model railway, and creating one is easier than you might think. Backdrops add a sense of depth to a scene, help screen-off unwanted viewing angles, conceal staging yards and allow structures to be built flat against it to save space. But get it wrong, and ugh!

Author Phillip Overton has over 40 years of experience in the hobby. This book will guide you through 5 different backdrop methods in order of difficulty, each one able to have your model railway layout looking better without learning what works, and what doesn't, the hard way!
