Sunderland Tramways, as exhibited, consists of models of both Sunderland Corporation and Sunderland District Tramways running motorised Corgi trams. Both systmes terminated, for many years, at Grangetown on the southern edge of the town. When exhibited they are joined by a short scenic board. Both Sunderland Corporation and Sunderland District Tramways can be and have been exhibited on their own.

These pages describe our efforts at tramway modelling since the mid 1990's and the resulting model tramways which have been described in "Tramfare" (the bi-monthly Tramway & Light Railway Society magazine) and in "Railway Modeller". They have also been seen at many of the model railway exhibitions held in the North East of England since 2002.

Our thanks for their invaluable assistance during the design, construction and exhibition of our model tramways must go to Dave Allinson, the late Bill Davison, Malcolm Fraser, Alan Kirkman, Mark Palmer and anyone else who has helped us in any way.

The images used in the Photo galleries are small for quick loading, the larger ones are of better quality and may take longer to download.
