					<description><![CDATA[The Malta Railway never produced much advertising material. Most printed matter associated with the line was in the form of timetables, tickets, paperwork, and the odd official report. The original Company created a few basic printed posters promoting events, but these were for basic information rather than anything eye-catching. To fill this void, I&#8217;ve created [&#8230;]]]></description>

From a private collection, newly discovered drawings provide more insight into the proposed ‘lift bridge, a feature required by the British Military authorities to protect Valletta from potential attack through the tunnel. &#160;&#160;&#160; [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on record as disliking colourised photos, mainly because so many turn out so badly. Ai is bad at recognising shapes and forms in black and white, and tends to wash images in inaccurate or wildly peculiar tones. More so now, Ai will try and regenerate the original image, making even more errors and more [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One wonders how the original Malta Railway company managed to operate with such basic facilities at its main depot. The engine shed wasn&#8217;t large enough for all four of its engines, and the larger carriage shed couldn&#8217;t accommodate all of the 30 carriages. The original building was tiny, built to a similar design to those [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an oddity: Attard railway station as it could have been. Dated 1904, this extravagant and wildly over-ambitious proposal was never pursued, but a more modest rebuilding of the station occurred around 1910. This basic 3D model is created from the original drawings. For anyone fascinated by the Malta Railway, or indeed the tramway, the [&#8230;]]]></description>

This starts at 4:20 in the morning and shows the morning rush hour before a more relaxed timetable begins at 10am. There were two trains running at any one time. A shuttle train runs backwards and [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been building an accurate scale 3D model of the station using original drawings and other info, and used it to test two versions of the station building to work out what&#8217;s happened. The original building, as designed in 1883, [&#8230;]]]></description>
