The In 2020 I started building a small portable freelance industrial layout called Essex Brick. It is based on storage facilities and serviced by rail, road and canal. All buildings are based on how I remember them from my youth; travelling to London on the Fenchurch Line. Buildings were dirty and well worn post WW2. I freelance designed and 3d printed almost all of the layout including all the figures, buildings, locos, wagons, turntables etc. This was very rewarding learning new skills and making the whole thing myself. The working canal works by a second track underneath with locos pulling the canal boats naround and through the layout. In 2023 1 focused on detailing and painting, using various methods to make the buildings and locos look authentic and dirty. Finally Essex Brick was completed.
