RMweb Premium 3rd Rail Exile Posted February 3, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2021 SER Clapboard is my favourite house style (and hence gets my vote), closely followed by Southern Railway's use of Art Deco. However, I must also concur with @LNER4479 regarding the Midland over the S&C - instantly recognisable... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1985 I lived in the tenement in Torrisdale Street that overlooks Queen's Park station. In 1979 I lived in Queen's Drive. Our local was the Fotheringay - was that still going when you were there?

I was a young pup lawyer then and we used to do all the licensing for Tennent Caledonian and I am pretty sure that was one of their pubs. So I would have visited it in a professional capacity!

robmcg Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Very nice weathering on 60050. Although there is no such thing in my opinion as 'typical' when it comes to weathering I do like the shine on boilers and lubricated metal parts... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There always seemed to me to be something rather tasteful about MR trains in the late 19th century, even though they seemed to get left behind a bit later on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
