A thread for my small but hopefully mighty DCC Self contained layout.
Built on two wooden storage ornamental boxes as baseboards- glued together.
Backscene made from palsticard airbrushed a sky colour. Low Relief scene to fill most of the blue WIP.
A weathered battered old transit from Bunters Yard over on Instagram.
Various scrap wagons feature - suitable weathered.
Runs using dcc and a dynamis ,
Current fleet for the layout includes : A sentinel (away for weathering) , An 03 and and 04, and and 08
There is also a scrap handler machine on the workbench from a modified atlas long reach digger. Will add once photographed.
Any comments ideas suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Ollie

Thank you. The underframe is ex Hornby TTA with the addition of styrene parts in place of the chopped off Hornby ones. Is it these you'd like to see or the actual chassis from underneath? More than happy to get some for you.
Hello-
Thank you for your prompt reply.could I see the chasis with your added under frame detail? I have plenty of Hornby TTA chasis kicking around and this looks like an ideal use for them!
