It is a very big shame that Pecorama has closed, however my understanding is that it is to be maintained in a way that will facilitate reopening again, when the economy has improved.
I have made many visits over the years and in the end created several web pages of photographs.
Most views were taken on a digital camera in July and August 2007, although some are older - come from film cameras of various types and in a few cases are somewhat grainy.
On reviewing my collection of master images I can see that I avoided publishing everything that I photographed - especially the model railway scenes . I think this is because I wanted to leave plenty for people to see by going there. At present (December 2025) it is not possible to add any these photographs but perhaps I will do this later in 2026.
One page shows everything but only has small 350 x 250 photographs. In those days many people still used dial-up internet and my aim was to make a page that loaded rapidly - even on very slow connections.

Because of the number of photographs there are two 'large image' pages...
This page focuses solely on the Beer Heights Light Railway.

This page includes the Pullman Dining Car and aspects of other attractions at Pecorama - except the Beer Heights Light Railway;

At the time I did not have a working camcorder and my digital camera only filmed VGA mode (640 x 480) mono sound footage. So, although I did film a little 'motion picture' footage I have never published it.
