1:35 Railway Track with Dead End

Railway Track with Dead End (1:35), MiniArt

Railway Track with Dead End is a diorama set of a section of railroad track ending in a buffer stop (a dead-end track), in European gauge and 1:35 scale from MiniArt. It is not a vehicle model but an accessory for building dioramas. The rails, ties, fishplates and buffer stop are separate parts, so they can be painted and weathered before being placed into the scene.

What the set is for

A dead-end track with a buffer stop closes off the end of a section of line, at stations and on sidings. In a diorama it creates a natural boundary for the scene and serves as a base for a wagon or a wartime scene on the track. The buffer stop with its wooden beam matches the height of the buffers of European wagons.

Use and tips

• An addition to dioramas with vehicles or figures in 1:35 scale
• The rails, ties and buffer stop are separate, so paint and weather them apart and then assemble
• Rust on the rails comes to life with pigments and washes, the wooden ties with dry-brushing

Who the set is for

For builders of dioramas in 1:35 scale who want to work a railroad element into a scene.

This is a diorama set, not a standalone model. Glue and paints are not included in the package.
