Scale: 1:200. A model of the passenger and vehicle ferry, 'Galloway Princess' (1980), which was built by Harland & Wolff for Sealink’s Stranraer to Larne/Belfast service. Built at a cost of £14 million it was the smallest and oldest of four sisters constructed for British Rail in the early 1980s. 'Galloway Princess' was capable of carrying 1000 passengers and either 60 lorries or 300 cars or a combination of both. It had a two-tier vehicle deck on ’B‘ and ’D‘ decks, accessed by two retractable ramps which, in an emergency, allowed the loading or discharging of the upper deck through the lower deck and vice versa.

One of the much-vaunted features was the provision of a commercial vehicle drivers’ lounge, a self-contained unit that had its own restaurant and lounge. Another innovation was the ship-to-shore telephone kiosk, which enabled passengers to make telephone calls while the vessel was at sea. 'Galloway Princess' ceased to be part of British Rail’s ferry fleet in 1985 when it was sold to Sea Containers, becoming the ‘Stena Galloway’. It was finally withdrawn from service in 2002.
