'Scrap Metal Collection ' - 24 Inches x 6Inches Self Contained DCC Layout OO Gauge - Modern

[Thefatcontroller]

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

An underside shot - wiring needs some tidying up temporary bodge so i could test.

 

Using a A Gaugemaster DCC frog juicer.

And a brass rod in evergreen tube point switching mechanism.

I love this cos I love all small layouts - shows you don’t need loads of space or deep pockets to enjoy model railways.

Ollie this is a great start to your scrap metal micro layout.

I like the primer on the transit wheel arch. Nice touch.
