So a return to suitcases!

I wanted to do a split level layout, inspired by the lovely folks at 'Suitcase Trains.' A homage not a copy, mind!

​

I fancied modelling an expanse of water. Although I've done ponds ( 'Nana-on=-the-Hill' ) I wanted to be a little more ambitious. Since I live in the West Midlands canals seemed the obvious choice. I run along them fish in them and generally have a good experience of them!

​

Along the way I had a large expanse of ground that was featureless. I was having a 'Modellers Block' moment so turned to my good friend Mr Green once more (he of 'Green Pike Station' fame). So a Roman ruin was settled on. One Google search later and I fancied 'Brocolitia.'

​

Brocolitia is available for exhibition. It displays on a 6ft table with lighting and extras. Measures: 67cm x 43cm x 21cm

The blurb...

​

" Brocolitia is an N Gauge layout in a suitcase with lighting, canal, Roman Ruin and ducks! 

The Roman ruin is based on the actual Brocolitia; the Temple of Mithras. Its ruins are found in Northumbria, along Hadrian's Wall.

With working street lights, canal, trees and ducks it has lots going on to catch the eye and tell its story."
