Elkington-on-Sea
represents a typical British seaside resort in the 1950s where, like Blackpool,
the old trams still carry holidaymakers to the pier. The trams are based
on the Bachmann American streetcars, adapted to turn them into British-style
trams. The trams have constant interior lighting powered from the overhead
wires. The 16.5 mm gauge track is hand-built with copper-clad sleepers
and embossed card for the cobblestones. The buildings are largely scratch-built
from card, foam board and plasticard, and have interior detail. The scenic
features include working illuminations, the lifeboat and lifeboat station,
hotel, cafe, theatre, amusement arcade, pier, and donkeys and a Punch
and Judy show on the promenade.
