Clarks Yard is literally a layout in a shoebox. The layout measures only 1ft 5in. X 1ft, so is really compact and transportable. It has been built in a Clarks shoe box as an essay in what is possible in this scale in a very small space. The layout is nevertheless operational and presents a simple shunting puzzle type experience.
Clarks Yard depicts an industrial area in the blue diesel era. The track layout is similar to the legendary 'Minories' 4mm layout.
Clarks Yard was shown as a static exhibit at Locomotion in August 2008
