MODEL PAGE 1

Part of my model looking up. This shot taken April 2007.   Marcrofts wagon works out-station is on the extreme right.

A housing estate (Greenridge) has been built on the field behind the station, that the cows are grazing in.
The station looking South.  Batch Farm is on our right, with the site of Burchells Colliery in front of it.  Rabbits are at work in the scrub land here.

This area has now been built over, and a children's playground is on the right.

Clutton @ Clutton 16/10/04.

You can't see it, but through the window to our right is the real Clutton station.

Picture taken before the addition of new trees.

model of Clutton 4131 on the 5.00pm up coals from Radstock has been brought to a stand at the up home. Once the yard signal (on the right) has been pulled off, the train will be eased into the yard. This signal can only come off when the road has been correctly set.  When the points have been reset behind it, it will reverse back down the yard into the relief siding (the middle road in this picture) (Railwells 2001).
 

 
Just to give an idea of the plan of the layout. Approximately 24' long, and 7' deep. The inside of the layout is not open, the operators stand behind. A signal box operator usually sits on the bottom right corner. That person has the normal signalman responsibilities. The train drivers are diagonally opposite, and for shunting purposes, have control over the yard points. Automatic couplings are Alex Jacksons.
