This
exhibit features a station, which could have existed, if the original
plans of the West Highland Railway had come to fruition in the late
1880s.A branch off the
main Glasgow to Fort William line would have left Spean Bridge and
traversed the two miles or so to the shores of Loch Lochy.Here there would have been connections with the steamers on the
Loch itself. The political climate of the time meant the short
branch was never built although a line was eventually built to Fort
Augustus in 1903. It is assumed the line survived the Beeching
cuts of the 1960s and is therefore operated with typical stock found in
the Highlands during the set period, which is the mid 1970s. The
trackwork is Peco FB rail. The
layout is featured in a new book by the builder, "Modelling
Scottish Railways'.'
