Some new back drop flats

[wheeler1963]

I found these on eBay, they were fairly inexpensive so I bought a couple. Put them up on my test track to see how they would look. Not too bad I think. They pass the 3' rule as some say on here. They have lights but I haven't hooked them up yet.

I think they look pretty good!
If you can rework the smoke somehow they'll be even better...

Rick, probably take it off. Just some stretched out cotton.

Jerome: Do you have a name for these background buildings?

I'm always looking for background flats.

Thanks.

Jerome: Thanks for the information on the flats, I ordered one for my layout.

Each of these building flats will be removed from the layout to be cleaned and additional details added. This is the Saxeville Industrial area. -Greg

How "flat" are they? I have a couple of area that something like this would be great, but I have less than 1/2" clearance.

1/2" thick

Patrick, I have 4 different ones from another seller coming later this week. Will report on those too.

Thank you.

I have used several of these. They are very nice lady looking, and are mounted on foam core.

Mike, I have 4 different ones coming from that seller as we speak.

OK, got 4 more flats in today. These are less than 1/2" thick on good foam board. Very clear pics too.

OK, I added more flats to my collection. I figured I needed some for the downtown area. Here's what I got. Don't say anything about the Indian Head, it's an illusion

LOL

Nice flats!
The first thing I thought of when I saw that Indian head was Spiny Norman, the hedgehog, from Monty Python. I wonder if he ever found Dinsdale?
