Watch the evolution of a model railway layout set on a grimy inner-city viaduct in the 1990s.
I am Michael Scott and I'm scratch-building as much of the N Gauge layout as I can out of card. I am sharing my progress, mistakes, and triumphs as I go. Hopefully this will educate, entertain, and inspire!
The layout will evoke the grimy built environment through which railways run. I am trying to recreate a slice of a run-down inner city by scratch building it out of nothing more than card.
I started building the Chandwell N Gauge model railway layout in 2019, and progress is steady - I try to upload at least one progress video a month.
If you're interested in UK N Gauge model railway layouts, card model railway scratch building, or just model railways in general, then this channel is for you.

I'm with you George. So I set up a spreadsheet and record every breakfast... No idea where the spreadsheet is - but its somewhere in my computer... 🥸😎🥸
Couldn't you just shorten the front/back by 2x card width and glue to the proper sized gables? No gap. I don't build from card stock, but balsa/styrene, but the principle is the same.
Yes I could but I prefer the fronts to be without joins, and I usually end up having to raise or lower them to get everything aligned right along the diagonal, so I think the techniques are roughly the same… unless I’m missing something! 😂
Hi Michael...Can you please tell me which AK Matte Varnish you use. I saw one of your videos and you were holding two AK different varnish products. Thanks!
I use AK Ultra Matt to finish. But it is very very runny and causes the ink to blotch if you use it immediately. So I use this as a top coat. I am currently using Perma Protect matt for the first two coats.
I put off watching this as I wanted to be able to watch uninterrupted by the kids questions (lots of "why?"s!!!), and I'm so glad I waited. A really well delivered presentation and, as always, love the backstories to boot. And as others have said, you wouldn't think this was your first public presentation, you're a natural! Really looking forward to watching your progress over the next 12 months! 😊
I import the Scalescenes texture into Inkscape and apply it to the shapes so I avoid any wastage of ink. Thanks for trying to vote but the bite has closed now.
