Lathalmond Railway Museum have opened a permanent exhibition.
Dunfermline’s Railway Story charts the development of the railway network in the Dunfermline area from the early days of the waggon ways, through World War 2, to the post war years and decline of the railways.
The project was funded by South and West Fife Area Committee and was designed and created by young graduate graphic designer, Aidan Robertson.
Its official opening was combined with the annual West Fife Doors Open Day.

Visitors have been able to view the museum’s temporary displays for the past six years, and the space they are housed in was the focus of designing something better.
Funding was secured earlier this year and the space was stripped back to basics and redecorated.
The design required some inventive thinking when it came to turning it into reality, and the team of Shed47 volunteers came up with ways to make it work.
In the new exhibit, there are donated artefacts, and interactive displays including a large map, photographs, plans, and documents. A digital archive has also been created.
Shed47 Railway Restoration Group, which operates Lathalmond Railway Museum, is located within the grounds of The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum at Lathalmond.
The museum is closed now for the winter and will reopen April 6, 2025 every Sunday afternoon.
