Thanks Clare!!! Sheer fluke i found it!! Don't often go into WHS but was in town with Graham and he wanted his latest Railway Magazine!!! What a horrible day it's been here today!!! Even had to put the lights on to cook tea!!!! I expect you have been busy!!!

What are you using to glue it? I went to the craft store and was overwhelmed but all the different types of Mod Podge. This one is for fabric and that one is for paper..and then you need an acrylic sealer.. sheesh! I haven't even picked a paper and I am already baffled!

Ive just used cheap PVA glue watered down!!!!! When it is dry I will just do another coat of the same!! My husband does a lot of Railway modelling and asssures me this is fine!!!! No need to buy expensive stuff!!! The machine was free and its for me..so cheap n cheerful!!!!!!

I wondered about that! That's what we used as kids in Girl Scouts.

Just added a few retro cut outs and given it another coat of watered down PVA.....need to let it dry out for a few days....but pretty pleased with it!!! Thanks for all your kind comments!!!

:D It's very cheerful now! What a transformation!
