Cab ride at the Pendon Museum

[velotrain]

The Pendon Museum in England is justly famous for its very high quality models and dioramas, but also has a large model railroad presence - including a pioneering, realistic layout from the 1930's. 

 

There are several videos on the site, and this one provides a three minute cab ride through a scale mile plus - one assumes OO gauge - 4 mm scale, of extremely well done trackwork and British countryside.  Along the way you're passed by a quite long freight train - say, what happened to that fellow who claimed to run 200+ car freight trains in O scale?

It's 4mm scale alright but IIRC the track gauge is 18mm (EM gauge).

 

Despite growing up in the UK I'd never heard of Pendon until relatively recently. I suppose back in those dim and distant days, if you didn't happen to hear about it from someone or read about it in a magazine the chances of stumbling across it were quite slim.
