Description

We open with views of an indoor model railway layout in 'O' gauge. The locomotives and rolling stock are likely to have been made by Bassett-Lowke. There are a number of staged crashes. An inter-title describes the next section as showing a half inch scale 17th century model fishing village build by Mr Charles Wade of Snowshill Manor. We then see Wade with his model village including shots of the houses and model fishing boats.
