steven156 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks for the pics! Garelochhead always seems so modellable. I was there in April 3rd 2011, a Sunday when theres close to nothing to be seen I thought and this was there.... it was started up and went north! In fact when it left one of the staff on it got into his van in front of me in the "car park" and I followed him on my way home through Helensburgh as far as the Erskine bridge!

will5210 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Great pics! Shame the Station building has lost all its windows - it looks a bit sad without them. Do you know if the 'fish scale' pattern is original? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emac Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think the windows are still intact under the boards a sign of our times it was boarded up to stop vandalism Do you know if the 'fish scale' pattern is original? I did read that these are original and the shingles were imported from Switzerland as part of the Swis Style design of the stations. The Station was opened to passengers officialy on the 7th August 1894 eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
