The Cheltenham & Cotswold Hills Company was proposed in 1811 to carry the products of the Stone Pipe Company from Lower Guiting to a junction with the Leckhampton branch of the horse drawn Gloucester & Cheltenham Tramway and, from thence, to Gloucester Docks.
Track is hand-built using nickel silver code 80 rail and copper-clad sleeper strip. Buildings are a mixture of textured Das Pronto on ply shells and scribed styrene sheet. Scenery is carved from polystyrene materials, mostly form the Green Scene range. All the trees are home made using twisted wire frames and Woodland Scenics foliage. The back scene is hand-painted and is a view of Sandhurst Hill as seen from Sandhurst village, near Gloucester.
Locomotives and rolling stock are a mixture of scratch built and kit built vehicles while the passenger coaches are, at present from the Peco range and most of the freight wagons are from Wrightlines. The remainder are scratch built from styrene sheet.
