based on the 1944 David Lean film

This is my fully monochrome exhibition layout, 'BRIEF ENCOUNTER,  based on the iconic British film directed by David Lean and set around a chance romantic meeting at a railway station. I really wanted to recreate that vintage black and white film effect - to do that I ended up using 32 shades of grey!

In my video I also show the layout at build stage and some of the problems and solutions I had to overcome along the way, including how to feature as many well known aspects and scenes from the film as I could. The layout is 11ft x 2ft and includes a fully-working 1940s cinema playing the film. I also share some fascinating facts about the making of the film.  I hope you get my quirky  humour

Very interesting video with lots of little known (to me anyway) facts about the film Brief Encounter.  What a fantastic theme on which to base a model railway.  Thanks for posting.
