‘Wish-list’ acquisitions boost for Cumbrian railway museum

THE owner of one of the country’s newest regional railway museums is celebrating the acquisition of two local railwayana items that have been on his wish-list for many years but had come onto the market only recently.

They are a venerable Maryport & Carlisle signalbox nameboard and a totem sign from the terminus of the Carlisle & Silloth Bay Railway, each of which will be on display in the museum
