Look out for the Pop up Railway Museum.

Look out for the Aberdeenshire Library Service Pop Up Museum Display highlighting the GNSR in the North East of Scotland. Currently this is on display in Fraserburgh Library but will be circulated to other libraries in Aberdeenshire. 

The pop up museum is housed in a cabinet and contains a selection of interesting artifacts, including lamps and tickets, relating to the railways in the North East including the Formatine Buchan Railway 

A token or tablet pouch.

During the late 19th century for each section of the single track line safety was ensured by the adoption of a token clearance system. There was only one token (a metal disc)  for each section of the line and drivers needed to be in possession of the token before their train could proceed  along that section. The pouch with the large metal handle was designed to make the transfer of the token from the signalman to the driver or fireman of the train easier. As the pouch was handed over a telegraph signal was sent up the line to give the train clearance for the next  section. Grey Granite remembers watching this transfer take place at stations such as Maud.

The enamel look out badge was worn on an arm band by look out men whose job it was to warn gangs of linesmen of oncoming trains. They were also worn by pilot men who warned drivers of signal failure by means of a red flag.
