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

worked the last special charter over the Waverley Route ??? Go on....can you guess!!!

*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?
