There are some other interesting features on that page, taken from an 1898 magazine.
Note the description of the carriages on the passenger train. Two of them were corridor carriages, and were equipped with "the proper extending covered ways." Not a particularly complex layout, and only two live steam trains, but occupying a large area of 90' x 30' at a scale of about 1:10.
£10,000 was an awful lot of money in 1898, probably equivalent to well over a million today
And a five foot long loco and tender was "diminutive"!
Compared to the real thing, I suppose. There was no '00' in 1898!

Wonder what scale/gauge it was?
John.
6 inch gauge I believe it said

I imagine the scale was between 1/8 and 1/10, representing a gauge between
4ft and 5ft.If it was precise to standard gauge, the scale would be 1:9.41666...
