Framed route map

The Record Run

Euston to Aberdeen, 22nd to 23rd August 1895

The West Coast road from Euston to Aberdeen, raised in relief, with Kinnaber ringed where the two roads to the north became one. The frame for the night of the record, and the journey behind our first story.

On the frame

• The route in relief, London to Aberdeen, with the East Coast road alongside
• Kinnaber Junction marked where the two roads meet
• The record in figures, set in our own type
• A replica ticket for the journey tucked into the mount

The figures

• 8 h 32 min: Euston to Aberdeen
• 539.7 miles: By the West Coast road
• 3 carriages: Behind the engine that night

Checked against the sources for our first story, Kinnaber.

Size

32 by 44 cm, 4.5 cm deep. The frame is 32 by 44 cm; a sheet of A4 paper is 21 by 29.7 cm.

Made of

• Oak-effect wooden box frame, deep enough to clear the relief, with an acrylic front (lighter than glass and safer in the post)
• The map printed in several colours of plant-based PLA, set into a cream mount
• A replica Edmondson ticket for the journey on buff card, the same size and stock as the tickets in the monthly parcel
• Hanging fixings on the back; stands on a shelf as well
