What Size Box For A Micro Layout?

[Artisan]

@Ross : he mentioned wooden boxes ... definitely more style than a "leather imitation" ...

- as radius, I think 150mm should be preferred. That makes the minimum box width about 340mm
- closing a 100mm high box: consider making a higher scenery element detachable. Same goes for the background.
- it also might be an idea to build the layout in the lid...you get a better view on the trains and scenery

Thank you for your advice concerning the box width. That is very helpful. Also thank you for the advice about the scenery.

A really nice looking layout. Your layout is design and size is just what I had in mind.

I visited the Bluebell Railway Model Railway Weekend yesterday, and Ian Redman was there with 3 of his layouts:







His website is also well worth a look:
