Model of Saltburn Station.

The superb working model layout of Saltburn Station is about 24 feet in length and depicts an interpretation of how Saltburn Station may have looked if missing buildings and track still existed. The rear of the Zetland Hotel, shops and buildings on Milton Street. Dundas Street West, properties on North Avenue, Irvine Avenue, Marton Gill, both signal cabins, Jubilee sidings are modelled. Motive power is drawn from members varied stock and do not necessarily represent the true picture of the past. The layout is the work of Paul Harrison and David Lethbridge.
