D6975 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I remember the 'saucer' seats being in the area in front of the departure boards, then when the new seats were put in they were in the position shown in the phot of 47704. The building by the tunnel is just visible in the shot of 37410, but I'm pretty sure that I haven't got any other shots that show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlw Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Guys heres a question for us all. Typically scotish ballast is pinkish in colour, but the ballast at Queen St looks more grey under that heavy wash of oil. So what would be the best colour ballast to use?

37023 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 You got there before me Carl! Im thinking for this what im going to do is lay gray ballast than wash it in a pink wash... im gonna do some samples and so on before i lay it and do it to our layout!

Bob Reid Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Guys heres a question for us all. Typically scotish ballast is pinkish in colour, but the ballast at Queen St looks more grey under that heavy wash of oil. So what would be the best colour ballast to use? Carl Pink was never typical Scottish ballast - added later on some routes (relatively modern) and certainly was only shades of grey on the E&G and in Queen Street.....(Optionally Oil Stained ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brush47337 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Great to see 2 more Glasgow Queen Street layouts starting. There are 3 or 4 of my GQS photos loaded up in my Gallery within Prototype Gallery section. Will see if I have more - but they will be 1979 - 1982 Don't want to re post here - might get a scolding from a Mod for that. You should also check out the excellent "Glasgow George Square thread" - here on RMweb in Layouts section. Taybidge has done a great job of capturing GQS - but used artistic licence well (layout is in Australia too). He did a lot of research - plenty on here and in old RMweb from him. Looking forward to teh threads - keep us posted please Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Do you have a rough date for that move Peter? Chris Hi Chris, I was never very good a recording dates, but I am pretty sure this was Feb or March 1986. From memory it was about 8.30ish, I would have been on my way back to Central to go home. Pic below shows 26026 late 1985 should help you with brick colour. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlw Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 A quick question about the 'saucer' chairs... where abouts were they in the late 80's ive seen photos so far suggesting they were gotten rid of and stacked towards the end of Platform 7 just after the building. This might answers the question http://gallery.myff.org/gallery/418489/Queen+Street+station+May+1985.jpg Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlw Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Also do you have any photos facing Cowlairs tunnel as there is a small building on the right hand side but i cant seem to find many photos of it so im lost on that one so far... Also any phots of the interia canopy support walls would be absolutly spot on! http://dennistaylor..../p64845860.html http://dennistaylor.fotopic.net/p61378756.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrel Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi, Any idea why the sleeper coach would be in this rake of stock? http://dennistaylor.fotopic.net/p64940977.html Regards Carl it was an aberdeen to glasgow service it arrived around 1300 at queen st. the train loco would uncouple and run into an empty platform, a light engine (normally a class 26 but sometimes a class 20) would come down from Eastfield couple on to the train uncouple the sleeper coach then go ECS to cowlairs. the train loco would then shunt back onto the train and couple up ready for departure back to aberdeen. it was daily working during the week in 1989.

The internal sleepers worked Edinburgh - Inverness, Inverness - Glasgow, Glasgow - Aberdeen, Glasgow - Inverness, Inverness - Edinburgh on successive nights. You'll note that there wasn't a Aberdeen - Glasgow working, the coach was attached to the 11.05 Aberdeen - Glasgow push-pull to take it back to Cowlairs on the same morning it had arrived. This arrangement happened from certainly 1985 to the end of the decade and possibly earlier. Surprise, surprise, Glenn and I model this working at the Aberdeen end.
