Glorious Trains - Featuring the John Ingram 0 Gauge Model Railway Collection - Part Two | 21st July 2026
John was a lifelong railway and model‑railway enthusiast, whose passion began in early childhood near Wokingham, Berkshire, watching trains and playing with well‑worn Hornby 0‑gauge sets his father tirelessly repaired. A move to a farm in Kent during the war years brought him closer still to real railways, with farmer’s sidings, footplate rides, and wartime traffic leaving a lasting impression. As a boy and young man, he built ever more ambitious layouts, from Hornby Dublo 00 scale to increasingly sophisticated 0‑gauge. He drew inspiration from the Midland Railway traditions around Derby, where he trained as an apprentice and then worked as a design engineer at Rolls‑Royce. Bassett‑Lowke and Hornby, mainly two‑rail and with an early Midland theme were central to his interests, setting the course for a lifetime of collecting, building, and restoration.
John’s modelling developed alongside his Rolls Royce time in Scotland and his subsequent, varied career as an RAF aero engineering officer, with postings across England and Wales providing fresh railway inspiration. He was particularly inspired by the single‑track lines and maritime settings of southwest Scotland. His evolving modular 0‑gauge layout, later known as the Stranraer and Ayrshire Railway, was exhibited publicly and rebuilt many times as his RAF postings required. In later years, as opportunities for large layouts diminished, he focused on restoring rolling stock, expanding his Bassett‑Lowke and Ace Trains collections, and actively participating in the Bassett‑Lowke Society as a founder member, exhibition builder, and supporter of the wider 0‑gauge community. After retiring to Warminster in 1993, he remained closely involved with railway societies and groups until ill health required him to part with his beloved layout. John passed away in November 2025, leaving behind a rich legacy of craftsmanship, enthusiasm, and generosity within the world of train collecting.
