These are of the miniature railway in Stratford Park run by the Stroud Society of Model Engineers.
The first three are of an L.N.E.R A3 4-6-2 named 'Papyrus' built by Paul Wilkinson (in the all blue overalls).
One of the photos shows the partially built tunnel.
This was made using bricks reclaimed from the end arches of the viaduct that carried the Midland Railway as it entered the Stroud terminus over Wallbridge.
The last photo is of a nearly completed steam loco built by Mark Drake.
The photos taken in 1984 and appeared on Stroud Area Photographs and Cotswold Picture Postcards where they were posted from a collection by Alan Davis.
