The first Box Model is now in a box, but no pictures quite yet. After a little fine tuning it will be complete and photographed this week I hope.
It will be housed in an Oak toolbox type case with steel corner protectors and lock catches. The model landscape is encased in 3mm Oak ply. The insert has lift-out handles. The model insert and power controller are removable. Inside there is space for two small boxes on the left side for rolling stock and small tools, batteries etc.It will be a fully working train set in a box. Totally portable. I'm hoping to make a few of these over the coming months. I'll be working on some other landscape ideas and hopefully the next one will include a concrete arched viaduct on one of the curves. I may need a bit of help with that one (Doug?). 3D printing is not my thing. Yet.
