Clement Street
An O gauge layout available for exhibition
The layout
Clement Street Yard is entirely fictitious but was inspired by Mike Baker’s Bradstock O gauge layout which itself was inspired by the S&DR Radstock mpd.The name Clement was chosen from heritage dating back to the Norman conquest of 1066.
The layout is a small railway yard featuring a 48ft, turntable and a single line engine shed. The main line incline in the background is on a 1:37 (just like the Midland Lickey incline). Mainly GWR stock with occasional visitors from the LMS. Tank engines and short wheel base 0-6-0 tender locomotives have access to the vacuum powered turntable. The compact design incorporates a double slip and a single turnout both powered by DCC Concepts Cobalt stall motors.
The layout is controlled by Lenz DCC but points and signals are analogue. Minimal signalling, so far, from Dapol with more ground signals to be added when available. The track is from Phoenix Permaway with hand built double slip and turnout. Buildings and cassettes from Intentio and Lasercutrailways. The turntable is from Kitwood Hill Models.
