The train now departing from Platform 1 is for Model Village...Welcome to the model village, an acre of idyllic 1930's England.

If both worlds are to survive, they must learn to collaborate across divides. But first, they must round up the wolves.Vote for the model village YOU want in this playful and subversive new satire.We are now arriving at our final destination.
