Ellis Clark Type 27 Wickham Trolley

Ellis Clark have produced a model of the ubiquitous Wickham Trolley, which must be one of the smallest self propelled vehicles in 7mm/O Gauge.

At Warley I bought a Yellow with Wasp Stripes DCC Sound version.

The box looks more like it is for a OO model.

There is the Type 27 trolley and a low sided trailer in the box plus detail parts.
This model has DCC sound squeezed into the tiny vehicle.
Here it is with a current 50 pence piece for scale.

 For the first time in nine years, I went to the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham.

This was part of a giant modular layout, this module based on Barnstaple Town.
