A wonderful trip to a model railway museum in Oxfordshire, fully recommend to any railway enthusiasts, run by some great staff/volunteers who give a wonderful insight and willing to answer any related question etc. They build everything themselves, the rails, trains, each individual brick and slate of a building. It really takes modelling to the extreme, not even I take it this far, but it is good and there are some very talented modellers.

Roye England (1908 - 1995) is the founder.

The layouts seen are
Vale of White Horse
Dartmoor branch
Madder Valley (Only runs occasionally due to old age)

The model trains are hand-built, to represent individual locomotives, carriages and wagons as exactly possible, based on surviving records and photographs. Operation consists of a sequence of trains, showing what one could have seen passing by on a summer day and night, in the mid-1920s. This sequence is based on timetables of the period. They are all modelled in 4mm to 1 foot scale (1:76), and run on track of 18mm gauge, a combination known as EM gauge.Pendon Museum, located in Long Wittenham near Didcot, Oxfordshire, England, displays scale models of typical scenes on the Great Western Railway (GWR) of the 1920s centred on working scale model railways.
