4mm/P4 Gauge
Presented by Robin Gay
The Layout is a 4mm (P4) model of the Wantage Tramway as it appeared in the early 1920s.
At this period there was a regular passenger tram service between Wantage town and Wantage Road GWR station. The WT also had a freight contract with the GWR to deliver and pick up all goods around the town and district. This resulted in at least three return goods trains being run each day along the Tramway.
On Market days there would be extra trams run and even a cattle train, so it is on one of these days I have decided to portray the Tramway for the extra interest.
Though I started this layout several years ago, there are so many buildings that I gave, I had to research photo and measure and later build – many of which were knocked down 50 to 70 years ago. It has taken me a long time to get this far and it is still far from finished.
