Name of Layout - Clarks Yard
Scale - 2mm/ft. 'N'
Era - Blue Diesel
Clarks Yard is literally a layout in a shoebox. This is somewhat of a concept layout and was constructed to see what could be achieved in a given small space. The layout measures only 1ft 5in. X 1ft, so is really compact and transportable. It has been built in a Clarks shoe box and shows 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 but is not really intended as an exhibition layout due to the limited amount of operations which are possible.
