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 by me, 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!

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 within 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.

Trains On A Train!!

On the weekend of 20/21 September Moor Boxes were at the Spa Valley Railway in Tunbridge Wells where they showed the Boxes on the moving train, going up and down the heritage line between Tunbridge wells West and Eridge.

This was possibly a first in the UK... or even the world! What an experiance!
