Micro Layout


Recommended Posts

Here are few pictures of my latest layout. Not a box file layout, but it has been made in two gift boxes attached together. Overall it measures around 60cm long by 18cm deep, with the box height only 9 cm.

The track layout is based on a Inglenook shunting puzzle, with wire in tube point control.

 

For the baseboard, I used an old artists canvas frame as was already the right length. This was then cut down to fit the width, and a layer of mdf attached on top.

Thanks. It is just shot with a small compact in macro - I don't think it does manual focusing though. Being a micro layout, it is easy to move around and take it outside for the light.

I would love to make another one, but will see - not much space to store them!
 

 

 

Hello idglover,

 

I looked through the pics and it wasn't until I looked at another post that I realised that it's N gauge, I thought it was 00!

If you make another micro it would be great to see it from start to finish on here.

The pics are very good as well, if you use a camera with manual focus I can help you with a free program to 'stack' a group of pics so that the whole scene will be sharp.

 

Cheers - Jim

Here is a track plan. All self contained shunting in the box, but it would be nice to run it out into a fiddle yard...

The blank space is where I did a bit of re-modelling and replaced a section of the sidings with a warehouse as the later pics show.

 

All the points are set track because of the limited space. I have found the class 04 to be a great runner, despite its small size, and it seems to have no problem going over them.
