The Castle public house. This was the site of the original Wales Farm house. Wales Farm is a corruption of Wells Farm - the Wells being Acton Wells.

Built for the LMS North London Line between Richmond and Broad Street, and Euston to Watford. Like the underground these lines were electrified on the 4th rail system at 630 volts dc. Known as Oerlikon sets because of the Swiss built electrical equipment they carried. These trains seated 33 first and 130 third class passengers.

GWR auto train - a pannier tank engine sandwiched between two auto coaches, which each have a driver's cab at one end, linked to the locomotive's regulator. This system cut out the need to run the engine round its coaches at the end of each journey, and was ideal for short branch lines

Steam locomotive hauling a goods train. Possibly a Southern Railway loco with an SR headcode - the white disk on the front of the smokebox might be indicating a route such as Battersea Yard and Kensington or Waterloo or Nine Elms and Reading via Twickenham
