I've been inspired to build it.

Wonderful! I've just finished reading the NB Atlantics and was day-dreaming of a big fat boiler on top of a GCR chassis (or something like that). I'm afraid I have little info other than what's in the NB books published by David & Charles. But I'm looking forward to thrashing out of Hawick up to Fala with a string of bogies!

Since I know Brass Monkeys about the Waverly line, does anyone have reasonably detailed maps of the route?

I'm guessing NZBigDave is not from the UK :(

Should make your task a bit harder.

The British Ordnance Maps "Landranger" series (scale 1:50,000) would have the terrain, & would show the route as a "Dismantled Railway".

Don't suppose you have acces to those do you. I think Map No's 85, 79,73 & 66 (or the ones next to them) would have that info.

Ooooh spooky connection. My favourite 'Deltic' was 55007 "Pinza".
Can you guess which loco :wink: worked the last special charter over the Waverley Route ??? Go on....can you guess!!! :oops:

*cough**cough* anyone willing to help a man out. I was intending that if I ever managed to build the line to cut it onto CD and sell it, with a not inconsiderable portion going to, was it the Border Union Railway?
