These models from the RVLR (Rea Valley Light Railway) garden model narrow gauge railway are meant to represent the many small industrial railways that once existed throughout the United Kingdom. Some of the models are based on actual locos and stock that used to be found on the industrial scene whilst others are models of items that might have been. All the models are built to a scale of around 1:19 and run on 32mm gauge track. |
