Pendon Museum

About Pendon Museum

Pendon Museum, located in Long Wittenham near Didcot, Oxfordshire, England, displays scale models of typical scenes on the Great Western Railway of the 1920s centred on working scale model railways. The museum's main object is to create a typical village in a representation of the Vale of White Horse as it might have been in the 1920s and 1930s. Isambard Kingdom Brunel happened to build a railway line through the Vale which is why it appears in the village scene but, as part of the concept, the trains are also representative in detail of those travelling that line in those years.
It is not a 'model railway layout' in its usual sense as the trains run at scale speed with a realistic interval between each. Founded by the late Roye England, the museum is run by a group of volunteers and is open to the public most weekends and holidays.
