Train Service Resumes
by kerrowdown
A model railway has been re-installed in Inverness' historic Victorian Market after a four year absence.
Since about the 1970s, a scale-model locomotive and carriages travelled in a big loop along a track in the rafters of the 155-year-old shopping arcade.
The train was removed during a revamp of the market and creation of a new food hall, which opened in 2022. Following months of work, the 361ft (110m) of new track and multiple trains were officially launched.
The project was a collaborative effort involving a number of organisations, including Highland Council, Inverness and District Model Railway Club, UHI and businesses.
