It can be done and done well and Cameron Stait is here to tell us how he did it. Cameron shares his model railroading journey that led to a spare bedroom where he has created a prototypical recreation of the Southern Highlands in New South Wales in HO scale. We learn how he has effectively used a second backdrop to provide the illusiuon that these long freight trains have disappeared off the layout and shares his passion for scratchbuilding. Cameron also tells us the instant benefits he's experienced from leaving lone wolf modeling behind and becoming active in the New South Wales modeling scene.
