Framed route maps, made to order

Your own route, in raised relief.

The line you grew up beside, the one you worked, the one you rode once and never forgot. Tell us where it runs. We make the model, email you pictures, and print and frame it only when you say yes: the terrain standing up off the page, the line traced across it, the stations and the figures on the mount, and a space for a ticket of your own.

£99.99, plus delivery

The West Highland Line framed route map seen straight on: a dark wood frame round a cream mount, a round raised-relief map of the West Highlands with the sea lochs in blue, the line in profile, and the figures for the journey beneath.

The West Highland. Yours is made the same way.

Ready-made

Six lines, ready to order.

Famous railway journeys in raised relief, each one printed and framed after you order it, by hand, in the West Midlands.
