Adam sits down with Michael Scott, creator of the remarkable fictional N gauge town of Chandwell. What started as a small lockdown-era railway project has grown into one of the most distinctive modelling projects on YouTube - a gritty 1990s West Yorkshire town filled with scratch-built buildings, fictional history, bizarre local celebrities and stories that somehow feel completely real. They talk about: Building Chandwell almost entirely from cardCreating believable urban scenery inspired by Bradford and West YorkshireScratch building techniques and workflowThe huge challenge of modelling Bradford CathedralThe importance of storytelling in model railwaysThe upcoming Make a Scene 2026 competitionAlong the way there’s discussion of graffiti, skew bridges, Britney Scroggins, model railways as an art form, and why sometimes the railway becomes secondary to the world around it.
