Miniature model of Glasgow landmark destroyed by fire goes on display

A miniature model of the historic Glasgow building which was destroyed in a major fire has “come home” to Glasgow Central Station.

Karen Bones spent 10 weeks working on a replica of the B-listed Victorian building, known as Union Corner.

Network Rail bought the model – which is made from recycled cardboard and depicts the businesses that were affected by the blaze – for £2,950.

It will be on display for the public at the station and form part of the Glasgow Central Tours, which take visitors behind the scenes of the Scotland’s busiest railway station and explore its heritage.

“It feels fantastic for it to be going on display in the station,” Bones said.

“It was my dream location for it but I didn’t think it would ever happen.

“When Network Rail got in touch with me to ask about purchasing it, it just blew my mind.”

She said she did not think the model would not have had the same impact if it went in a museum somewhere else in Glasgow.
