A model of Douglas Railway Station has arrived on Island.

The Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporter’s Association was gifted the 4x1 metre model by railway enthusiast Michael Radcliffe,

The model, which is set on Senior Race Day in 1961 and features Douglas Station, the Isle of Man Steam Railway and the TT Races at Quarterbridge will be exhibited around the Island at various locations.

The Steam Packet Company assisted members of the Association to travel off-Island with a van to collect the model and bring it home.
