Does anyone know where you can get old railway map prints to hang on the wall? There's a particular style I like, think it's from the Railway Clearing House like this one:

Saw a complete Scotland map today at the aquarium, which would be great to have on the wall (sorry for the poor pic):

Anyone ever seen these for sale anywhere, or made their own?

Aaaaah, I am such a nerd!

Here you go. [url= http://www.oldhousebooks.co.uk/ ]http://www.oldhousebooks.co.uk/[/url]

I have a couple, mine came folded into A5 size so will be a bit 'creasy' if you like your wall hangings all proper. It looks like they do them rolled up too though.

Go to the National Libraries of Scotland website http://maps.nls.uk/ and fill yer boots. You can also take screen print copies and save to word and/or possibly right clck on the image and do things.
