 The Melbridge Box company is being built in response to the Double O Gauge Association Boxfile challenge.

Since I'm organising the competition I don't intend to enter this model - it would defeat the object of keeping the entries anonymous for judging. However I thought I ought to put my money where my mouth is and build something with the intention of inspiring others and perhaps supplying some ideas for others. 

This site will document the progress of the model, I'm not claiming it to be the best in the world or to have all the answers but keep coming back and have a look to see how I'm getting on.

Please get in touch with ideas and suggestions: phil@pagenumberone.co.uk
 

Overall view of the scenic part of the layout.The view on the left shows the state of the layout at 30th November 2003.

Everything is now as finished as it is ever going to be - at least if a layout can ever be described as finished !
 

While very small, this has been a satisfying model to build. There is plenty of detail.

The view through the archway.Everyone has space for a layout like this so there is no excuse for not building a railway !

Go on, you might enjoy it !
