The visual world around the railway.
Records must match the selected period. Films must additionally connect to the Waverley corridor—Edinburgh, Midlothian, the Borders or the route itself—so unrelated Glasgow and Highlands material no longer appears here. Broader period posters remain clearly labelled as context.
