Wingfield Station Model Railway
A 4mm scale operational model railway of Wingfield Station has been constructed by volunteers and is located in the Goods shed. The model helps visitors to understand how extensive the railway facilities were at the station plus the variety of trains to be seen.
The model railway is set in the Summer of 1947 and accurately models the following:
Station buildings and platforms
Goods yard and facilities
Goods dock and facilities
Station approach road
Holme Lane railway bridge
Railway embankment south of Holme Lane bridge with multiple tracks
Wingfield signal box
Oakerthorpe brook
1947 was selected as all Wingfield’s goods facilities were still operational at that time. It was also the last year of the London Midland and Scottish (LMS) Railway and the height of steam traction.
Although mainly operated as the 1947 LMS railway, special events are featured on the railway including:
Famous British trains
Luxury trains
Wartime trains
British Rail era trains
Christmas trains
