  • This small 550mm long N scale 'model railway' demonstrates that we all have space for trains in our home. Built to sit on an IKEA Mosslanda (55cm long, 12cm deep) 'book' shelf it depicts the Dyfi estuary, inspired by photos and personal experience of Ynyslas.

    It is interesting to see the micro layout as a way to a larger project. As I get older - it’s my 73rd birthday today - I am thinking of smaller projects as an end in themselves.
    With considerations about time, the use of materials and space (what to do with layouts when the inevitable downsizing comes?) such mini projects seem increasingly attractive.

    Super N gauge scenic modelling in a small space. Very clear explanations of the reasoning behind the models and the techniques used. Very sharp pictures and a tripod is used (Thank you!). Great video and I'm currently enjoying others from this modeller - James Hilton.

      Thank you Michael. I do worry my videos are too much of me talking but never the less, you all seem to enjoy them. I’m glad you are enjoying the back catalogue!

      Thank you Brian - I hope you enjoy it, I don't put stuff up every week but I hope what I do prepare is worth sitting down with a coffee and watching.

    This conveys a lovely atmosphere which is one of the most important things of a layout IMO.

      Thank you Justin. As a 'test' it was both enjoyable to create and rewarding and encouraging for the work that will follow. The atmosphere was important, even in this smaller cropped size, and it worked well, and has shown me what will work in the larger layout footprint.

    I'm very happy to see another video from you, James. This cameo/diorama is lovely, especially the bridge, the water and the distinction between embankment and marshy land. I really can't wait to see the larger version that this inspired. Nice reminder on the benefit of using jigs as well. Cheers
    PS I was wondering if you had Gurney's 'Color & Light' in your collection, but judging by the back scene, I guess you do

    Hi James, Great video - I've just been watching a few of your videos and tried ordering your book but it seems to be sold out. Do you know who has stock?

    • @JamesHiltonCustomModelRailways
      @JamesHiltonCustomModelRailways  Год назад

      I’m afraid not, although I know it has sold out at the publisher too! Book 2 in hand and I want to publish that before we do a reprint of book 1.

      Well deserved. The best layouts always have there own lighting built in I've noticed. That's something I've never done but must learn. Is that something you cover in your books or is it something you could do a video on?

      @@BrockwellLanemodelrailway lighting, it’s covered as necessary with an idea on how I do it in the book, but the book is more about finding a home and matching the space to a prototype, scale and viewing height.
      I will do a short video on lighting.
