Moor Boxes


Welcome To Moor Boxes
Tiny Worlds In Little Boxes

Hello and welcome to my world of Model Railways.... in Box Files!

Everything on this website features model railways that have been built within standard 'off the shelf' box files. The type you would usually see around offices storing such things as finance reports, staff records and other mundane bits of paper... My boxes are far more fun!

The idea all started whilst looking through youTube one day. I came across a few micro layouts and then one in a box file, perhaps I could try that I said to myself... so I did. This website shows the results of that thought.

I laid down a few basic ground rules for myself:

  • Each box made must be a self contained scene
  • The box retains all four sides and it's lid
  • Everything must fit the height of the box (around 65mm)

In general I've stuck to the above 'guidelines'

All of the boxes are modelled in N Gauge (1/148 scale).

Controls and electrics are very simple and all run off analogue controllers.

Please use the menu to explore each of these miniature worlds.
