A very old (35-40 years) Tenmille Products 16mm scale model of a Glyn Valley brake van. The guard is of a similar vintage, from an early range of Bachmann G scale figures. The head is from a US style brakesman and the body originally had a head wearing a trilby hat.

A pair of Timpdon Models ready made coaches have been added to the 32mm gauge stock. These will form part of the train specifically set aside for visiting other garden railways. Lots of scope for super detailing, just the transfers added for now.
