WHAT IS IT?

The model train from Bellue Vue Model Land

WHEN DID YOU GET IT AND HOW?

About 8 years ago. Bought from a private seller in the area, his friend apparently helped deconstruct the model village after it was closed down and removed.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

I document model villages and miniature towns - and I'm a railway enthusiast too. This is a really unique part of model village history in the UK and will eventually be displayed (I hope) as part of a growing collection of miniature park heritage. If anyone sees this and remembers the model village - please, I'd love to hear about it for my book.
