The first are the highly suspicious links between the names: St. Monica was the mother of St. Augustine,* and the Roman road that became the Edgware Road became known as Watling Steet in Saxon times (so that Watling Street might be regarded as the progenator of the Edgware Road).
The original Roman road ran to the south of London (through what is now Southwark, all the way from Dover), and forded the Thames at Westminster, where it turned north to become the future Edgware Road.
Once a bridge had been built futher downstream, the road crossed over (about where the famous "London Bridge" was), and ran first north, then west, passing by the site now occupied by St Paul's, and continuing along the line of the present Holborn Viaduct, Holborn, and Oxford Street, where it rejoined the present Edgware Road.

Our research suggests that the original trackwork was of baulk road and this has been used in the model.
The original track used deep ballasting and it has only been necessary to model the baulk road's transoms around pointwork and in sidings.
As a result, a rather unusual method of model construction has been used; baulks in thin plywood have been glued to the 3mm cork underlay and the modified 'bridge' rail attached to these using 'high strength Araldite' (the underside of the rail having been heavily scored with a course file).
