Scale scenes micro layout

[David Holman]

The new, November Railway Modeller has a fascinating article on the above. For £9.99, you buy a downloadable set of printouts which enable a delightful canalside/warehouse scene which fits in a foolscap boxfile. Backing card, cork sheet and a small amount of track, including a Y point, also need to be bought, but the article shows that a really convincing scene can be created as an ideal backdrop for any of the small industrial locos now available. 

 Could also be done with 009 or 00n3 and likewise given an Irish flavour too. Never say you don't have room for a model railway!

They do some very nice buildings - I have purchased quite a few of their models over time & while they take some time to make up, they are very well put together & look quite convincing.

They have two micro layouts; an industrial layout and the dockscene you mentioned.

Good value, and once you purchase the files, you can print them off as may times as you like, so those building could be use in different scenes. 

I would imagine with a bit of scaling on the printer, these could be scaled up to 7mm?

Already been scribbling! However, not Irish this time, but as a means of using my Wantage tank. Scratch built from the MRJ articles several years ago, it would be nice to give it something to run on.

I wondered if the Wharf micro layout possible in 21mm.  It is!

This thread has opened a Pandora's box in my mind David.
