Winter Scene: One unusual genre of instant or miniature railway layout is the circular Pizza Box Railway.

I really enjoyed this Instagram post or reel / video of this clever Four Seasons layout by modeltrainho
Image source: screenshots from Instagram: modeltrainho
Realisation by modeller Aduna Khor.
It shows the same scene, building and trees modelled throughout four seasons with the same train running through it on a circular track.
A quartered layout using some of the stage design techniques for railway modelling mentioned in my last blog post such as the tunnel / bridge arch.
Perfect for the indecisive modeller – snow? Spring? Autumn?
A simple idea beautifully executed.
It does not have to be the same buildings and trees , it could also be done as four different scenes in four different seasons.
