Title: Polish roads
Post by: Wulf on 22 March 2016, 02:03:14 PM
Anyone have any experience with Polish roads? These ones, I mean:

They look a bit thick in the pics, but might be interesting. The river sections I don't like the look of, too bright & cartoony.

Looks ok to me  :-\

Indeed a bit thick, but for the price asked, they represent what they should.

Yes, and Robert Robinson was rather plump as I recall.

Strange. I was just talking about Frank Muir and Call My Bluff the other day! Had a nice wee chat with him whilst he signed  one of his books he was flogging at the time. A charming man who was as pleased as Punch when I mentioned how much my wife and I had enjoyed his first children's book, "What A Mess." Other guy was Patrick Campbell.

I should, of course, clarify that the conversation took place many years ago and that I was not involved in some kind of seance.  :-[

Cobble stone roads can be polished.

I don't like the looks of the tracks on there myself. I went with some from a guy in the UK named Fat Frank.

I have a load of Fat Frank's roads, but I like a bit of variety. Frrank was willing to customise some river pieces for me to look a bit less blue & a bit muddier.

I get mine from Fat Frank too but the Polish ones look pretty decent too.
