Day 71: railway artwork/track planning

I live in a tiny flat, where the walls are all plain white, which coupled with the grey carpet made the place feel a little... sterile, maybe? Possibly not the right word, but certainly not very homely. So I've finally got round to getting some pictures on the walls, which of course are railway-themed. The main one is the 1907 OS map of a certain harbour (internet points available if you can ID it) - which leads me on to the point I actually wanted to make in this blog post, which is that I've found old-maps.co.uk to be a really good resource for research.
Trackplans are the obvious one, but also contours, coastline, junctions and train routes can all be traced using their maps. I'm not associated with them in any way, but just found it useful for my current layout, and for a couple of others I'd like to build in the future, including potentially the one in the picture, if I ever manage to accumulate enough space and wealth to do it.
