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.
Please subscribe now and join me as we watch Chandwell evolve from bare counter-top to a dirty, run-down 1980s industrial city.

I met Britney Scroggins in Bradford Cathedral. She’s travelled here from Chandwell to have a look at my model of Chandwell Minster.

I've started the last part of Station Road in Chandwell. I'm going to draw and build these four buildings as one model rather than four separate ones joined together. They will be removable from the layout so I can take them out to shows if ever needed. And it's good to have Chandwell's fifth pub included - can you name the others four?

In 1993, the Chandwell MRS made a big thing of their N Scale model of Bradford Cathedral. They even took a full size billboard outside the real cathedral to advertise it.
