Two model trains pulling carriages run parallel to each other on railway tracks in the garden. Another train passes in the opposite direction. The train travels underneath a model building placed above the tracks. It travels around a corner, underneath a bridge, passing another train travelling in the opposite direction. A train pulls cargo carriages underneath the bridge with the building on top and past model people standing on the platform. The cargo train passes a passenger train on the opposite tracks. A stationary train waits for another passenger train to pass on the tracks.
The camera is placed on top of the train and travels along the tracks through signalling stations, bridges and pulls up to a station platform.
A train travels along the tracks behind a model house. Among the railway tracks, there are a variety of model buildings such as Tudor houses and churches. Model cars travel along the roads past the buildings, and model people stand at the station platform as a train pulls in to let another train pass. The train pulls away from the empty platform with the passengers on board. At another station a train travels through a tunnel and comes to a stop at the platform. Another train travels along the tracks above the same tunnel. Two trains travel in opposite directions pass through a platform.
With the camera situated on top of the train, the point of view of the tracks is seen as the train travels along. The train passes other trains and travels through tunnels and stops at a platform.
A train pulling carriages stops at a station. The train disconnects from the carriages and travels a little way up the tracks. It then reverses onto another line and travels back up the line, carrying a load of coals in a carriage. The train then reverses onto the track with passenger carriages to reconnect and continue on the journey. Two trains pass through a tunnel in opposite directions.
With the camera situated on the top of the train, the point of view of the tracks is seen as the train travels along. The train pulls up at the platform with the model building on top. A train travels along the tracks.
