A SCALE MODEL OF PS WAVERLEY MODEL BUILT CIRCA 1970 painted wood and ply, raised on a stand 99cm long, 33cm high Note: Built in 1946, by shipbuilders A. & J. Inglis of Glasgow, PS Waverley was launched in October 1946. She entered service with the London and North Eastern Railway in June 1947, working the LNER's Firth of Clyde steamer route from Craigendoran Pier, near Helensburgh, up Loch Long to Arrochar. In her first year in service she wore that company's red, white and black funnel colours. After a revival of fortunes in the 1950s, the 1960s saw a gradual change in holiday habits that led to a decline in passenger numbers and the closure of many of the small piers. Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) withdrew Waverley after the 1973 season as she was too costly to operate and needed significant expenditure. By then the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS) had been set up and had bought the near-derelict small River Dart paddler PS Kingswear Castle. CalMac, keen to ensure that the ship was preserved, sold Waverley to the PSPS for the token sum of one pound. Neither side really believed that the vessel would return to steam but, just in case, Caledonian MacBrayne stipulated that she should not sail in competition with their remaining cruise vessel, TS Queen Mary. A public appeal was launched to secure funding for the return of the Waverley to service and the fund-raising operation was successful. The PSPS found itself running a cruise ship operation, "Waverley Excursions". Since then Waverley has been joined in the PSPS fleet by PS Kingswear Castle and MV Balmoral and has had a series of extensive refits and much restoration work, including a new boiler and improvements to meet modern safety standards. She has circumnavigated Great Britain and every year makes extensive sailings around the country.
A CAST IRON LNER RAILWAY SEAT BACK SIGN 'BALLATER', CIRCA of rounded rectangular form with bullnose moulding, cast in relief BALLATER, later paintwork to front only 71cm x 10.7cm Note: The Deeside Railway was a passenger and goods railway between Aberdeen and Ballater. A railway to serve Deeside was first suggested in 1845 and was authorised in July 1846, but it was decided to wait for the Aberdeen Railway to open first. Shareholders wanted their money back when the railway mania bubble burst, but it survived because the Aberdeen Railway bought a large number of shares. Interest was restored after Prince Albert purchased Balmoral Castle, to which the Royal Family made their first visit in 1848, and the Aberdeen Railway was able to sell their shares. Investors were still hard to find, but by limiting the railway to a line between Ferryhill, in Aberdeen, and Banchory the Deeside Railway was able to apply to Parliament for permission in 1852. Permission was granted, and the railway opened on 7 September 1853. A new company, the Aboyne Extension, was formed to reach Aboyne, completed in 1859 . As the line was extended up Deeside, closer to Balmoral, the terminus at Ballater became the royal station, welcoming Royal visitors once a year in the summer. The station was destroyed by fire in 2015 but has since been re-built.

He died suddenly in 1910 at the age of forty, having caught pneumonia at Balmoral. On his early death, shortly before his sister's coronation as queen of the United Kingdom, Francis of Teck's will set a legal precedent when it was sealed, to avoid potential scandal. The document remains unpublished, and subsequent royal wills have followed this tradition. Good Condition. All signed items come with our certificate of authenticity.
