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!

Nailsea Best In Show Award 2026Whilst 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.

NOT FOR SALE!

I am often asked at exhibitions (and via email) how much the boxes are to buy - They are not for sale! This is my hobby, purely for my enjoyment. They are taken to exhibitions for others to enjoy looking at.

If you want a box of your own, the answer I give is very simple, make it yourself - Have a go! See the Box Construction page that has a little bit of guidance to get you started.
