Nottingham Goods
by Dave Barrett
The layout is intended to show a small corner of the
Midland railway Goods
Station in Nottingham as shown in the Bumper Preview issue of Midland
Record. The time period is set prior to 1923. Some alteration will be
made to
suit the conditions of the competition.
The layout was originally intended as a diorama for photographing
wagons etc. It
has been extended to suit the project and to allow for shunting by
means of a
cassette type fiddle yard. One warehouse has had to be substituted by
something
less tall to allow the boards to be boxed together and carried in a car.
One warehouse will be open at the side to demonstrate the loading and
storage
systems in use on the railway. The wagons/vans can be delivered to the
sheds for
unloading! loading and removed to sidings. It wilt be even better if
someone
comes up with a powered horse.
