Andrew Cockburn Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I’ve always fancied building a layout which incorporated a canal and/or wharf, or at least part of a canal and/or wharf. So when I became of a boxfile canal/wharf layout kit from the Scalescenes downloadable range of kits last summer, it seemed an ideal chance for me to fulfill my ambition. Asides from the canal/wharf,, the layout also features three warehouse-type buildings, while it has also been enhanced by the addition of a Wills yard crane, and small details such as harbour mooring bollards, while I’ve also constructed a home-made two-track fiddle yard. The layout took the best part of three months to construct, is very compact, as the various structures pack away into the boxfile when not in use. I’ve also constructed a couple of other railway-related kits from the Scalescenes range, ie a small hut (which actually features on the canal/wharf layout) and a goods hut, and have been really impressed by Scalescenes products/enjoyed assembling those I acquired, & as such, I hope attempt further Scalescenes railway-related kits/products in the future.

Rob K Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I am at the early stages of building this as one of my first attempts to get back into modelling.I’ve run into a couple of dead ends when I realise more bits are needed ( track, points, a decision on power etc) but have had fun so far 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bandit Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Nice job Andrew. You can’t beat a box file to develop skills and try out new techniques. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc smith Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 What a cracking little scene. Those buildings are really well made, and especially well weathered. Excellent! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
