ianwales Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi all I seem to remember a magazine track plan in one of the model magazines not too long ago featured the terminus at Glasgow St Enoch, had a look through the few mags I have before I came to work, but didn't find it, anyone remember which mag/issue it was in please, then I can look for a back issue?

Guest stuartp Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 You'll be much better off with the plans in Jim's link than looking for the Hornby mag. If I remember correctly this was one of the ones where their artist had managed to get St Enoch into a box room and just squashed it all up until it fitted regardless of whether it would actually be buildable.

Western Scottish Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yes I think StuartP is correct. The trackplan in Hornby Magis maybe not realistic. 3 sources I know of 1. Steam Days had an article on St Enoch some time ago. I'll need to find out what issue, but have a look at their website I think they have a comprehensive list of back copies and can order them if still in stock 2. Glasgow Stations was a book from 1979 that has track plans of all Glasgow Stations. A bit difficult to get hold of. Publisher was David & Charles 3. And probably your best bet, have a look at the Railscot web site. Very good information there. Possibly they have a St Enochs track plan If you are modelling this it will be a big undertaking- similar to Lime St Station I would think. Very interested in finding out how you get on Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66C Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Ian You may find the old town plans from the National Library of Scotland useful. Have a look here: http://maps.nls.uk/townplans/view/?sid=74416944&mid=glasgow_2_centre#sid=74416944&mid=glasgow_2_centre&zoom=3&lat=5709&lon=8417&layers=BT And here: http://maps.nls.uk/townplans/view/?sid=74416956&mid=glasgow_2_centre#sid=74416956&mid=glasgow_2_centre&zoom=3&lat=5866.5&lon=8417&layers=BT And for the east corner of the triangle here: http://maps.nls.uk/townplans/view/?sid=74416947&mid=glasgow_2_centre#sid=74416947&mid=glasgow_2_centre&zoom=3&lat=5748&lon=8360&layers=BT Regards.

Karhedron Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yup, I think the giveaway is the presence of 3 points, end-to-end in what is supposed to be a 1'x1' square. Might be quite if you took the plan in the same space and simply built it in N gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Reid Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Decades ago when i was a member of the Renfrewshire MRC the layout began as a large and accurate model of Elderslie, with later extensions to Greenock Princess Pier and tehn the other way to large and pretty perfect model of St Enochs, not suere if it ever appeared in print, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted December 6, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2012 St Enoch is also featured in Historical Survey of Selected LMS Stations Volume 2 which I believe is due to be reprinted. ISBN of my 1986 copy is: 0-86093-330 X. I reckon that it would be a degree more difficult than Lime Street. Minimum space required about 20' x 20' in 4mm but that's not counting for the bridge over the Clyde and there's no obvious way of providing a scenic break so as to avoid modelling that so probably more like 20' x 25'.

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted December 26, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 26, 2012 You'll be much better off with the plans in Jim's link than looking for the Hornby mag. If I remember correctly this was one of the ones where their artist had managed to get St Enoch into a box room and just squashed it all up until it fitted regardless of whether it would actually be buildable. But wasn't the prototype like that - squashed into a corner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim49 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 True Kevin, but it wisnae squashed THAT much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted December 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think the point was that the plan had been squashed so much that it was impossible to build. Which rather missed the point of publishing the plan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Modeller Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The station was almost 2 stations side by side (original and extension) - by pretending the extension and second train shed were never built, you could at least simplify things a bit.
