RJS1977 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The Wallingford Branch celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2016. I seem to remember seeing a model of the old Wallingford station on the exhibition circuit a few years ago - does anyone else here recall it/know whose it was? Many thanks Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rich Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 There was a write up in Railway Modeller July 2006 about Watlington terminus which had pretty much the same track plan as the Wallingford according to Peco's setrack planbook 8th edition April 1998 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Richard There's a not very accurate N gauge model from the Culm Valley MRC, and I think a much better one in 7mm scale by Gerry Beale? There may well be others as Wallingford is quite an iconic station – whatever that means... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Richard There was a 2mm finescale model for sale via the 2mm Association a couple of years ago it might have been that one. The Culm Valley MRC one is a representation of the line using slightly modified kits. It can be viewed on www.wallingford1965.weebly.com or www.cvmrc.co.uk. The station area is a reasonable copy of the original however the CWS Creamery is modelled using a Metcalfe kit so is not an accurate copy. A much better model of this can be found on the "Vale of Oxbury" layout. There is a none working model in the Wallingford Museum. This is also in N gauge. Have included a picture of the Culm Valley MRC layout. It is still on the exhibition circuit but depicts a post 1965 era which was after the branch closed..
