Hello Happy Modelers !
As usual, I built another small H0 layout (4'9" x 3'8"). I used Peco and Hornby tracks, The radii of the curves are 20" and 17"1/4. Because I live in France I can't build big layouts like you do guys. I don't have enough room for that (Not enough money either !). I found out that I need one DC controller per track because no loco runs at the same speed if you see what I mean..But I'm very happy with the result !
If you think I'm crazy, you damn right !

Today I tried to print some sort of autumn backdrop for my layout. What do you think about it ?

Looks good. I like the sight of autumn color along the tracks.

Thanks for your kind comments !
When I print my backdrop on a single A4 paper sheet, it works fine. But when I try to print it on a double A4, it's going a bit weird as you can see below:

I assume that the white squares are not printed, but just show what looks odd on the backdrop. I thought the bottom picture less jarring than the top one, because there are such open lanes in the forest, in places. The one thing wrong is the total symmetry. Do the two sides have to be printed mirror image, like that? It seems like if both halves were printed the same direction, there would be a repeating pattern, but it would not be so obvious because the identical parts would be farther apart.

I know nothing about printing a backdrop....but I love that autumn tree backdrop.
