RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted November 20, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) We are holding a Box File Challenge at the 2019 Show! Thanks to Phil Parker for the use of this photo The idea as many of you know is to build a layout or diorama into a standard office box file like you see above. It's a great way to improve your modelling skills without spending a lot of money, it's all about your imagination to create a scene in a small space. Trackwork can be anything, N, OO, narrow gauge - even O gauge has been done in the past! So come on have a go, bring your entry along to the show. We will have prizes for adults and kids. My Scalescenes based "Summat in a Box File" will be there - hope to see many more on show too! Edited November 21, 2018 by RedgateModels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) George's layout is coming on apace. The proof of the pudding in the design is that last Sunday I got up to find he had set it up himself and was running trains 🙂 Centre board to lay and wire, then some details. Stock will be DCC this year, using my old Select. This is so I can knock down the Vhigh to limit the speed that kids can run them at. One little darling wore out the axle gear on an old Hornby Pannier Tank and caused a bit of damage to a few wagons too. Hopefully parents will be more attentive this year 🙂 Edited August 17, 2022 by RedgateModels 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold traction Posted March 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2019 The layout is as ready as it can be for another mad day. Ran out of time to get all of the detailing done, will hopefully get that sorted over the next few months. Still the children playing enjoyed it.
