Nothing to see

 James Hilton recently posted a layout idea that has struck a chord with many people.

The simplicity reminded me of a section of my old OO9 layout, which was essentially a scene inspired by a panoramic painting of the Talyllyn Railway on a postcard, combined with an Airfix turntable featuring 9mm gauge track, allowing it to turn a whole train.

I'm thinking now I could do something like that now, but using a boxfile, with most of the long side cut out, to frame the view a bit like a letterbox. Getting the Cadeby layout out for a quick photo today reminded me how satisfying a very simple scene can be.
