The Cleeve Tram Line
The Cleeve Tram Line is made up of four boxes next to each
other lengthways. A single line of track runs through the boxes
from one end (an Industrial area)
to the other (a modern Town) passing through a country area and
an old village with it's market square, forming an end-to-end style of
layout.
Each box is a complete scene in itself bearing no connection
to those next to it other than the linking tram line.
These layouts are built into standard foolscap box files. Peco track has been
used; in three of the boxes it has been slightly sunk into the base foam
board with cobbles running down the track centre.
Arguably, this is the first set of boxes that have been built
with exhibitions in mind rather than purely for personal use.
The fronts of the boxes have been released so that a better view
may be gained when displayed. The four boxes are powered by one single controller
sent through a shuttle unit. Once started the tram will pass
through all four boxes and after a few seconds return in the
opposite direction, continuously, without the need for further
operator intervention.
