An update on my Box file model railway layout 'Caran Leisg' - a fictional yard in 1960s Scotland serving a Bakery.
After going through the update on the layout, I talk about the stock: A 1980s Hornby Class 29, and a 2014 Hornby Caldonian Pug 0-4-0, one of the first to be fitted with the better gearing and no longer an out-of-control 'Pocket Rocket!'
I highly recommend the set of Artists Acrylic Paints and the chalk pastels from 'The Works.' They are excellent quality, and I have a lot of fun mixing up the paints to get the colour I want.
You can see earlier videos of the build on this channel, or more details on RMWeb at www.rmweb.co.uk/topic/161636-...
Thanks for watching!

Great stuff man! Love the creativity on display! Reminds me I need to kick on with my own. A pros and cons video will be interesting as I have used my layout to get my mojo back and experiment!

Those do seem to be awefully big boxfiles. The Pugs really need a crew. The overall look and atmosphere are excellent.

That really is a fantastic little shunting layout you have built there. Lots of operating scope for such a small place. It feels like you have built your layout similar to the methodology which I built mine. Much is scratch built, I have grass scatter made from sieved and painted sawdust. My home made static grass application tool (fly swatter and strainer) like yours works, but it needs more power. I am thinking of upgrading the transformer unit in it as I have seen this fibre on KZfaq.

You shunter and tender is definitely better executed than mine, Andrew. I really need to get the connecting between mine replacement with the smaller plug and socket I bought. The wires were way too stiff on the first. Your shunter round really nice and slow, and it's not even re-geared like mine either! Top job Andrew, I'm looking to seeing more progress in the future. Have you thought of adding another module on the end? Maybe add an indoor warehouse scene on the far left end where the track goes into a doorway? Or something else like a dairy or brewery between the right hand module and the fiddle yard. The world is your lobster, really.

Thanks Dibley! I’m already on it :) There are some things I wish I’d done differently, and now this is as good as done I’d like a mini-project to be getting on with. So I’m thinking of exactly as you say - and it will be as intended, which is the unloading area for the Goods In to the bakery. I just have to figure out how I’m going to juice the frog of an electrofrog point if I’m going to wire the blades and not use a point motor.

@@andrewd8853 Awesome. I'll look forward to it. My points are controlled by wire in tube, and a switch controlling them switches the polarity of the frog. Very much like Luke Nobel has done here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZdlkpeHzeCaoKc.html
