These models of Victorian Railways Narrow Gauge prototype are from Fraser Clayton, who also took the pictures. The wagon bodies are Ian Lindsay polyurethane castings and the underframes are various. Some are cast polyurethane and others fabricated from brass. The roofs are venetian blind slats cut to size with tissue stuck on to represent canvas and corrugated aluminium to represent galvanized iron. The models are built to 1/4″ = 1 foot scale (1:48) and run on 16.5mm (HO) gauge track to represent the 2′ 6″ gauge of the Victorian Railways narrow gauge system.
