For centuries, quarrymen have hewn this stone from the island’s cliffs and uplands, sending block after block to the harbours where waiting ships bore it to distant shores.

The Glynoch and Rathmor Railway website is crafted by a passionate team of model railway enthusiasts dedicated to bringing the charm of narrow gauge railways to life. Our journey began with a fascination for the intricate details and historical significance of these railways, inspiring us to create a miniature world that captures their essence. Each module is a labor of love, meticulously researched and constructed to reflect the unique characteristics of the fictional islands of Glynoch and Rathmor. Through this platform, we aim to share our progress, insights, and the joy of model railroading with fellow enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Join us as we explore the captivating world of 009 scale railways, where every detail tells a story and every train journey is an adventure.

On the southern edge of Little Rathmor, where the fortress town of Dun Lar looks out across The Straights, lies one of the islands’ most celebrated industries – the gin distillery that produces the world-renowned Rathmor Gin.

The most famous product of Dun Lar’s mills is the “Rathmor Gansey,” a garment woven to withstand the relentless gales and salt spray of the seas around the islands.
