Awdry's model

Gauge 1 model
City of Truro's gauge 1 model was scratch-built from Perspex and plastic tube using model railway drawings and book illustrations for referencing by. Due to financial difficulties, The model was not powered.

After the events of the third season, the model was placed into storage.
