Mid Sodor Railway - in Model Form

In Model Form

Rev. W. Awdry owned two model railways, one after the other. Both were based on the ideas of the MSR and "V1" as mentioned in some modelling magazines had the following roster: Albert (No. 5), Jim (No. 6), Tim (No. 7), Jerry, John, Jennings, as well as the mine engines Atlas and Alfred.

'V2' is the layout that survived to be displayed at the Cadeby Rectory - here, there was only one unnamed 'Mine Engine', along with 'The Duke', 'Albert' 'Stuart' 'Falcon' 'Jim' 'Tim' and 'Jerry'.

Famous quotes containing the words model and/or form:

    ... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.
    Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)

    Man is a victim of dope
    In the incurable form of hope.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
