Found this on the other forum and thought that anyone here wishing to build a contained micro layout (Box File layout), shunting layout or similar, these could be very useful. The boxes will be manufactured as 'flat pack' and will come in a variety of sizes. They are also 'modular', connecting end to end as well as end to back. Prices have not yet been discussed. Great idea.  http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/91645-boxhorn-lane/ Cheers, Gary. ____________________ ...as a young lad, it was big trains for little boys, now it is little trains for big boys...! http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=12116&forum_id=21 |

Hi Gary, Looks like a good product depending on price of course. They would make excellent cameo displays. It'll be interesting to see the prices when available. Cheers Toto |

I picked up an older copy of RM Continental Modeller July15 edition and they reviewed a ply Laser cut baseboard modular system made from 6mm ply which suits a range of layout sizes. The CM reviewer was pleased with his purchase. It can be found at http://www.graingeandhodder.co.uk/store/c1/Featured_Products.html Cheers Ray |

col.stephens wrote: £50 for the layout box and £45 for the fiddle-yard box. Ouch. Looks nice, but at that price I think I can do without the nice looking interlocking cut-outs. I'll stick with 6mm/1/4" Baltic ply (at approximately £12 for a 4 x 8 sheet, enough for at least three-four 4' x 1' layouts or modules), half-an-hour on the shop table saw, butt joints, and reinforcing fillets. I like my layouts (micro to macro) to be seen from both sides so a "theatre" layout with a proscenium arch and sides is OTT (no pun intended). I've seen too many of these at shows where if you stand to one side 15-20% of the view is masked. And 15-20% of what should be hidden is not. Especially if it's more than 6" deep. Bit of thought to the site lines and proscenium dimensions is required for this. Nigel ____________________ ©Nigel C. Phillips |
