Peasevern Yard

Description based on material supplied by the layout owner

Peasevern Yard  
Rob Owst O gauge 7mm scale

Peasevern Yard is inspired by the Midland Railways Avon Street yard in Bristol, nestled in the shadow of Bristol Temple Meads station. In the late 1970’s the yard was used for the transport of cement, Molasses and occasional scrap trains with trains being handled by 03’s and later 08’s. The sidings were removed in the 1980’s and little trace of the railway remains today.

The layout is a loose copy of a layout I had built previously in 4mm, Peafore Yard with the same track plan and a number of the scenes and buildings replicated on this layout. The upper level of the layout incorporates a small part of Temple Meads Station and the now demolished parcels conveyor.

Operationally the yard incorporates a private scrap sidings while the rearmost siding is used as a holding sidings for wagons going to the United Distillers and Blue Circle cement sidings these are both assumed to be off scene.
