Clyde Model Railway Club - Current Layouts

CANAL STREET

THE SCENE

Inspired by layout designs for an industrial setting in a book by Ian Rice, CANAL STREET is a freelance ‘OO’ gauge layout. Canal Street has no passenger station and is somewhere in industrial Britain where the landscape seems covered in factories, warehouses, railway sidings and, between it all, a canal.

CARDWELL

THE SCENE

Cardwell represents a small terminal station somewhere in northern Britain where a passenger service still operates, whilst some freight traffic is also retained serving industrial sidings.

Diesel multiple units usually work the passenger service, although steam may make an appearance on occasions.

HYNDFORD

Hyndford Station

THE SCENE

The Royal Burgh of Hyndford is situated approximately 30 miles south east of Glasgow in rich agricultural land.

Hyndford is the main market town in the area and for many years its livestock market on a Monday drew farmers from all over the locality. The Burgh and its market were served by a short branch running off the West Coast Main Line about 15 miles south of Motherwell.

PERTH GREEN WHARF

Perth Green

THE SCENE

Perth Green Wharf represents a model of the long closed and almost forgotten Ness and Tarff Light Railway. This narrow gauge line was built in the 1880’s to link the villages on the banks of Loch Ness to the Caledonian Canal. The railway was never a financial success and it struggled throughout its life until finally closing completely in 1934.
