Route Review: Minories

Diving into the backstory of one of the most enduring model railway track plans, Minories by C. J. Freezer.
We look at the confusion over the pronunciation of the name, before discovering a little about the creator and what inspired his vision.
Then after a closer look at the track plan and the ingenious design secrets held within it we can take a look at NexusDJ's Trainz rendition of the famous plan in his NEX MR Minories layout on Trainz A New Era.

Thanks for making this video, it's great to see what Nexus has achieved with my original barebones model.
I also converted one of Cyril's plans into a Trainz layout called Lowhead Ghyll.

I had planned this channel some time ago and have plans for a series of videos but my laptop went on the blink and life has thrown more work at me but I will be returning soon. Pleased you liked it, as a Trainz builder I am relentlessly in awe of the work of Nexus DJ

Really interesting video, thanks! Have to confess I'm a Minories fan rather than Trainz, Google brought me here. I did dabble with Trainsim but am now tempted to pick up a copy of Trainz just to run this. Trainz - A New Era is only 15 quid on Steam, would that be sufficient for this?

Yes, once you have the software simply download the Minories layout from the download station and enjoy
