A Second N gauge layout in a box file

Since the town bypass was built through part of the orchard, the town has developed its own transport policy and now runs a light railway from a new town centre station with a connection running through the town to the nearest mainline station. This was achieved by cutting through the rocks, forming a new station and a small park in what was once a dreadful part of the town.

Cars and lorries are restricted from the town centre, but a free secure car park and unloading area has been created out of site behind the shops.

The multiple unit is a Kato  chassis with a Japanese modified kit supplied by Peter Dibben

The trees in the orchard are by Jules,

The station is an Aurora kit, no longer available.

The layout has working lights by Viesmann 

The people are by Preiser

The fencing is by Faller and by FKS Modellbau

The vending machines, hot dog stand and preserved stationary steam boiler [steam donkey] are from the Ebay shop in USA

The seagulls are from Karen Rush art studios

 Embox shows what can be built in a box file and is my second such layout. Pending  has been seen at several exhibitions. It is hoped that Embox will also be a favourite small layout at exhibitions.

The Final Photographs and video...

These are the finished photos, deliberately small so you can click on them to view the detail and accuracy on a larger picture. There is also a wallpaper image for your desktop that looks great! As well as a final short film!

Enjoy!

(Due to a slightly lazy webmaster you may need to 'scroll down' this page to view the thumbnails properly because of the conflict between the 'Youtube' film and the thumbnails. Sorry.)
