I'm seriously considering building a layout in a case.
However, after spending most of today wandering around second hand stores , music stores and looking on line, I'm finding it impossible to source a suitable case.
I was thinking guitar or keyboard case but have drawn a blank.(all too narrow).
Ideally, I would like to be able to ceeate a roundy roundy layout. To do this I really need a width of 50cm and I'd like a length of  100cm min or ideally 120cm.
I don't want to spend a fortune on something I'm not going to use for its intended purpose.
Does anyone know of a source of such a case that I can purchase?
I'll get round to fixing it drekkly me 'ansome.

Thank you.
That certainly has potential. I shall keep an eye on that for a couple of days .

For Left Luggage I managed to source an old "demob" style suitcase from eBay for £20. A flight case would certainly be more practical for a larger layout if you can source a relatively cheap one (another option is to buy the strapping/hinges for one and build a flight case)

Hi Martin,

That case certainly seems to be a good one, especially as the seller has put no reserve on it  :thumbsup:

It says one catch is broken, that could easily be fixed with a replacement from someone like ....

Will look forward to your build  :D :D :D

All the best
Kevin.

PS. Loved your last video relaxing watching the trains run

Many thanks to cutting42 for pointing me in the direction of a flight case.
It's now on its way and a new layout in a case will be keeping me busy in a week or so.
