It looks easy enough to make. All the frosting recipes I seem to find on google are all using american terms.

buttercream would be a nice easy icing for the train cake
Buttercream
250gms of unsalted butter should be as soft as possible without melting 500gms sifted icing sugar 1tsp vanilla extract
Beatthe butter until it is pale in colour. Add around a third of the icing sugar to the butter on low speed. Mix well. Add another third and then add the vanilla extract. Finally add the remaining icing sugar. Keep mixing until a uniform consistency is achieved. Depending on the brand of butter and the temperature in your kitchen, you might need a couple of tablespoons of milk to loosen the buttercream. Colour the buttercream using gel or paste colours rather than liquid colours.

cool thanks for that Pam. However what is Extract? Is it dif from Essence? And where can I pick up those gel or paste colours? I have only ever seen food colouring.

Try this recipe for Butter Cream
1/2 c softened butter 1/2 c chefade 1 tsp vanilla essence 4 c icing sugar (sifted) 4-6 tbls milk
Mix the chefade and butter together until white in colour. Add the vanilla, mix well. Add in the icing sugar a small amount at a time, mixing well in between. Add enough milk to make the mix like thick whipped cream. Use gel or paste colours to colour the buttercream (get from a cake decorating shop). Dont use to much of the colouring as it is very strong, esp black. Just use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to add the colour in. The chefade holds the shape of the cream better. I hope this helps, good luck, Jan...
