RateTheFreight Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Afternoon all, Does anyone have a diagram of Dunbar's original station layout? I've a modern Quail map image of its current layout but suspect there was once more to it. Failing that, if anyone has a description that would be grand too. Having been there earlier, it struck me as an interesting prototype to model in either historic or current form with busy main lines passing the quieter station loop.

Bon Accord Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Greg, An excellent resource for Scottish railway photographs and some plans is the RAILSCOT site. It has a section on most stations both historical and current, and the Dunbar section can be found here: https://www.railscot.co.uk/locationnew.php?loc=Dunbar As you can see, it was quite a compact station prior to ECML electrification, whereupon it was necessarily butchered to permit the installation of OHLE. Some more steam era shorts here: http://www.rages.org.uk/images/DunbarH1L.jpg http://www.rages.org.uk/images/DunbarH2L.jpg http://www.rages.org.uk/images/DunbarH3L.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Holliday Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The National Library of Scotland has OS maps for the area for a number of years, such as the 25" series, which you can zoom in on and get a very good idea of the track layout, although occasionally the surveyors did make the odd mistake, but usually very easy to spot. PM sent, I hope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RateTheFreight Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks both; very helpful indeed. I didn't realise there was such a wealth of info out there (that will teach me to do more than a basic search in google). Its definitely got interesting modelling potential!
