Manvers Street

Manvers Street was based on the Nottingham Goods Station as it was in the 1920’s. Although having only  8ft x 2ft for the public viewing section which meant that inevitable compromises had to be made, however signalling, stock and buildings were totally authentic. It was the Club’s first layout built to the demanding scale P4 - Prototype 4mm per foot. In principal, everything was scaled “as the prototype”, which made construction much more demanding.

Another first for the club is that it would have been DCC, that is, computer operated train control.

The 12ft X 2ft layout, including the 4ft long fiddle yard had already been exhibited several times to encouraging critical acclaim.  It was due for completion by the end of 2008.

Manvers Street was also lost during the clubroom fire in November 2008.
