I think it's supposed to be "wi' " (with) - "wae" would be the Scots version of "woe". Sorry... this is all getting a bit OT, probably because I used the word "lum", as my dad did in his 1966 RM article.... Alasdair 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted September 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi everyone, This is all rather surreal; a discussion on Scots language and the weaknesses of predictive text! When I was at school the use of Scots vernacular anywhere within the grounds was regarded as insubordination, and was treated as such. That was official Scottish Office Education Department policy! Fascinating thread. Regards, Alex. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweenyTod1 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I'm in Pitlochry visiting family and went to Dewers Aberfeldy site to have a look round. The loco and wagon sit on what I believe is original siding. With a planned project in mind, I can't see if there were more than one siding/ headshunt etc. The O S map only indicates one set back siding. If anyone has a detailed track plan, it would be most helpful. Tod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for that and others showing building drawings. All together, you have you lot have given me no excuses for not "getting on with it!"

Now when I get home........... Thanks eveyone Tod You've actually reminded me about this, as I was having doubts about my own track plan. I'm now reassured that both Aberfeldy and Dallas Dhu (just sount of Forres, if anyone cares to look) have the same configuration of sidings as what I have planned.

MacDuff999 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Reply to AJCT, yes I do remember Mr. Julian of 'Homecrafts'. The shop was not far up Home Street from where my in-laws lived in Tollcross, when I lived in Edinburgh. I'm sure I got my first copy of Railway Modeller from there, and my first advice about more serious railway modelling. How much of a coincidence is it, that I have just bought a bottle of Aberfeldy 12-year old malt whisky today - the container for which depicts their old 'pug' shunter - and there within your posts on the subject, is a photo of the distillery! The image on their packaging is that of an industrial steam shunter type I recognise, but I have e-mailed them for any details of the 'pug' which might be in their archives anyway. As an aside, on a slightly different topic, does anyone (perhaps ACJT) know anything of the Edinburgh & Dumfriesshire Dairy plant in West Bryson Road, Edinburgh, in the 1950/60's? It was rail-connected I believe, and serviced I think by milk trains consisting of 6-wheel ex-LMS tank wagons. Information on layout, buildings, tank wagon livery, train schedules etc. would be a great help. Apologies for having gone off subject gents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff999 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Re other photos ACJT, would be interested to see those. My proposed project is hovering between the dairy topic I mentioned earlier, and a possible distillery diorama or similar. Nothing to do with the malt whisky of course!

Yes, I think I bought my first whitemetal kit from Homecrafts in the 1970s - a Gem "Glen", which Mr.Julian thought should be within my then capabilities....

The Distillery did have its own signal box which closed in 1935 being replaced by the GF. kind regards, Robert 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted February 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Bonsoir Pascal, There was a major problem with RMweb last year which nearly resulted in the complete loss of the site. This did not happen but many images were lost as a result. Some of these may eventually reappear in time but some may be lost permanently. It would require the original member to repost these pictures. It is not a fault with your browser. Edited February 3, 2023 by keefer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
