The large scale model of a British Railways High Speed Train
(HST). |
 |
The HST speeds past the lake (or pond in life-size). |

HST passing the railway station. Interestingly, with all the
attention to detail elsewhere, the track here has no ballast. |
 |
The HST rounds a sharp curve. The track is about 3 inch
gauge. |

passenger carriages, the model's overall size gives the impression that it
is long. |

G gauge railway in the international display area. The
public can drive these trains themselves. Unfortunately during my visit, one
of the trains got caught up in a plant that had encroached upon the track. |

A most impressive piece of modelling. |

One of many examples of humour to be found throughout the
displays. |
