Penny Train: A memory of Balham

Penny Train

A Memory of Balham.

My Great Uncle Bill looked after me occasionally and used to take me to a shop in the high street where I watched a train go round for a penny. My Grandparents lived just opposite us in Old Devonshire Road. This is my only memory of Balham as we moved soon after.

That would have been Bec Models on Tooting Bec Rd. I remember it well. It had a little red light bulb than was on , or off, I cannot remember which now, when the train was running. I loved Bec Models, and was a frequent visitor.
