Go back to May 1970, and my mate and I spent the night camping in an Ex Co-op Ford Thames Van in Edinburgh Cattle Market, now not a lot of people can say that.:D

We were up there for the Scottish Six Days Motor Cycle Trials that started there and then went on to Fort William for the rest of the week.

Rather you than me!  If I'm thinking of the right place (Chesser/Stenhouse?) then it's been built on with a large supermarket, with the old cattle market being a conference/concert/event venue.

On the way home on the Friday we parked in Sauchiehall St, Glasgow, outside of Woolworths, and got up Sat morning, opened the back doors of the Van, lit the primus stove got our camp chairs out, and did a cooked breakfast in the Road, and no one took a blind bit of notice.:dancer:

You've been very quiet this week Andy, all ok?  Or are you just going to surprise us tomorrow with a video showing the layout has been finished, run through, advertised, sold, and stripped down? :)

 

Hope the knee is better.

Cheers Rich, A busy week with Layout and other jobs, but get bugged on here with the Adds and so do it in small batches.

I'm saving a special for next week, with loads to show.:D

In BR days (and probably still now) the E&G service was the most profitable for its length of any on the network - because of all the folk who were happy to work in one of the cities but would never dream of living there. Hence there was and is a strong commuter flow in both directions (disclosure: I lived in Edinburgh and worked in Glasgow for a while).

Cheers Chris, And glad it was of some help, I love doing my Scenics, and Splodging a Bit here and Splodging a bit there, it like being a Kid at school again. :dancer:

 

Have you seen the Scenic ones I did on my Seven Mills Sidings at the beginning of the Year? 

I changed a Fuelling Point  into over grown Sidings.

No's 68,69 and 70.

So, this morning, and feeling a little fragile with not ONE, but NOW TWO painful Hips, and the sore knee now worse after last nights extended Band Rehearsal, and me leaping about like a demented Baboon that didn't help matters, I actually did some scenics on BR.

 

I've just put in the cardboard formers ready for the Masking Tape job either tomorrow or Monday.

I am not sure you warrant sympathy after behaving like a rock star! Good to know you haven't lost your enthusiasm. The modelling is coming on nice.

Where's the video of you "leaping about like a demented Baboon"?

I did actually do a Video on Friday, but the Camera keeps coming up as ERROR, when I try to see it or down load it, we will try again on Thursday this week.

Perhaps you left the "parental guidance" setting on.
