  • Before the Forth Bridge opened in 1890, Burntisland was the southern terminus of the Railways in Fife in Scotland, Passengers and freight would had to be transferred to ships to get across the Firth of Forth. Nowdays Burntisland is a 2 platform through Station between Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing.
    This layout in scalefour standards shows how Burnitsland dates from 1883 shows the docks and the Railway Station which was operated by the North British Railway. Also in the video you will hear the words 'The Diver' that because the locomotive (which is on the thumbnail to the video) is a North British Railways 224 Class, No. 224 but this locomotive was part of the Tay Bridge Disaster in 1879, the locomotive was recovered and rebuilt.
    Most items were kit designs or scratchbuilt but the layout is in P4 Gauge or P4 Scale and is operated by the East of Scotland 4mm Group and was on display at the Great Electric Train show in Milton Keynes

      @@simontrainsmodelrailway Hi. I lived at the Lammerlaws in the mid 1950's. I regularly walked from there along the seawall to the harbour. My father worked at the Control office near the front of the station. The area has changed a lot since then but the model is very much as I remember the area. Eg i used to be frightened walking past the roundhouse at night coming from the cubs. I would love to spend time looking at the exhibition. Bryce Weir
