Linton Cement Works

Andrew Shillito, Maidstone

Scale: 3mm Gauge: 12mm/TT3

Linton Cement Works is based on an internal industrial system servicing a cement works in which we have the interchange sidings where coal is received and the finished product is taken out and onto a loading facility for bulk cement wagons. To add interest we have a timber yard, scrap yard, a dockside feature and an oil works, which all provide additional traffic. Once again this is typical of the industrial development of the North Kent area. We also show the depot where the works locos are kept and serviced together with the local village, its shops and the church.

All track is hand built using printed circuit board, code 60 rail with all points actuated by solenoid point motors controlled from a central control panel. The layout is effectively wired in three sections, any one of which can be operated from either of the two controllers. Many of the locomotives are scratch build and are all based on prototypes in industrial service, however, we do have kit build locomotives most of which are Finney & Smith or Worsley Works. All wagons in use are 3mm Society kits and are available to members through the 3mm Society itself.

We have attempted to portray the typical activities which are carried out in many industrial sidings throughout the country, in our case, this includes movement of chalk from quarry to kilns and the movement of coal wagons in and out of the reception sidings.
