Models of the WC&P Railway - Introduction
|
This railway makes a wonderful subject for model railways. An excellent example is Andrew Ullyott’s superb 4mm/ft scale EM gauge model of the Weston-super-Mare station. It featured in Feb 2007 Railway Modeller magazine. It is often exhibited at major model railway shows, and is well worth seeing. |

Andrew is now constructing a new model of Clevedon station. This is eagerly awaited. To check on his progress, see Andrew’s blog here. |

Another example has been sent in by Richard Chaplin, who built this Terrier ‘Portishead’, coaches and wagons in O gauge while a student. More photos and details of Richard’s models ...... If you know of any other WC&P models which could be featured here, please let me know. Contact. |

Models on the Market. A few WC&PR models have been available recently on the market ready made (such as the Hornby Terrier opposite) or in kit form. They are usually limited edition models so are not available for long.
Details of current situation .....

An O gauge model railway was produced by Nailsea Model Railway Club and featured in a BBC TV programme about the WC&PR. Sadly the layout has been dismantled and sections mostly dispersed or broken up. More details and photos.... |
Drawings for modelling Christopher Redwood’s book ‘The Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway’ has scale drawings of Hesperus, coach No 2, and large Drewry railcar. See Books page.
