Andrew Cockburn Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) A few years back, I built a couple of boxfile micro layouts, as a sort of challenge to myself. These were rather aptly named “Filey road” (a small passenger terminus & goods/coal yard), and “Filey Yard” (a small industrial setting, consisting of a goods/coal yard, private factory siding & a small locomotive shed). Both layouts moved on to a new home a while back, though not without having given me a fair amount of pleasure, and below are some photos of the layouts, which I hope are both interesting and informative ….

TechnicArrow Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The yard layout looks really good - I like that you've kept it in two boxes, but shifted the scenic break to give more scenic area, even if (I presume) it means you can't separate them. I also quite like the front wall, creating a full 360 scene - unless it's blank on the inside? If I ever switch to N gauge, building something like this looks like an excellent place to start! 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Cockburn Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 @ TechnicArrow. Thanks for your feedback, and its nice to know that I might have inspired you! The boxfiles on both layouts were "inseparable", ie they were fixed to a framework of 2" x 1" timber, making them completely rigid. Also, re the inside of the front wall, I can't remember TBH, whether I left it blank, or whether I created/added a scenic backscene. But all-in-all, I was pleased with them both, and I dare say I may attempt a similar venture in the future .... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
