Nice progress Jerry. I think the office looks well against the engine shed.

Hi Marly51 this sounds like an interesting cakebox build and you have some nice bits already.

Malcolm it’s great to see colliery layouts. You have captured the scene really well and you have good modelling skills. Thanks for sharing this lovely layout.

Nice start Steve you have got the main part of the layout sorted.

Morning a little more work has been completed on my boxfile sidings. All brick walls have been fitted and a sloping tile roof has been added to the front of the warehouse. The tops of the remaining walls will have some rendering added to finish them off properly. Here are a couple of pictures of my work so far.

Sounds interesting Luke. The Hornby Peckett is great to have on any layout and I can’t wait to watch the build.

Looking good.

Jerry.

Well done. What do you use for the brick wall ?[/quote

Thanks I use tha Metcalfe brick card construction kits which I purchase from trackshack.

TechnicArrow a like the shunting operations video and the working wells crane kit.

Some more work commenced today on my boxfile. Some of the brick wall is glued in place and the goods platform is fitted in place.

Can I ask why the forum does not have smilies for us to use when replying to posts.

Nice work Geoff. I like how you have broken a fence board for the trainspotters to get through. Look forward to more of your work.

Kevo nice work on the coal hopper, great modelling.

Nice progress Jerry on the engine shed.

Hi Clover.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Jerry.

Jerry as Mark mentioned steady away.

Box files can be addictive, in my experience. I look forward to seeing yours develop.

HT I don’t mind it being an addiction. It will be fun.

I'll follow your work with a great interest as I want to build a box file layout too.

Vallon I will be posting pictures of my progress throughout the build.

Seen as though boxfile layouts are becoming popular on the forum, I thought I would have a go at building one myself. I will be using Peco oo gauge track with a Y point.

The theme is 1940s/50s using GWR locos and wagons, a goods platform and siding.

Keith the bridge with the arch is much better.

Great pictures Luke of a brilliant little layout.

Nice progress Kevo. I really like your building models and construction.

Coming along nicely Jerry.

Jerry I like your layout design, can’t wait to see some more.

Luke the Hornby Peckett looks great weathered. I only use a brush when I weather along with weathering powders.
