Popular Post darren01 Posted July 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Hi My Dad has been scanning his slides and sending them to me, i was wondering if anyone would be interested in having them on here?, if you do like them i will put more up as i get them. The first set was taken in 1975 at Glasgow, St. Rollox Locomotive Works Images are copy right of Mr D. Rees, He dose not mind them being used for personal use.

jonny777 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 These St Rollox photos make me very upset, because they confirm what I had always tried to deny to myself - that if I had bothered to go there a year earlier than my first visit, I would have seen all those Claytons before they became scrap metal. Curses! But excellent photos, nonetheless. Thankyou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren01 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi all I am glad you like my Dad's photo's, I have spoken to my farther about them and he has agreed he would like to put them up on here. It's funny that my farther thought that no one would be that interested in them!, He has a lot of slides and photo's going back to the late 60's and right through to the late 70's era. My father said he will send me a batch of photo's each day and I will put them up on here for him, My father will send all the photo's that he took around Scotland and then move on to other regions .

sb67 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Great pic there, I like the 08 with the double arrow and lion and wheel, do you know if it was in br blue or green? It looks like Blue but I wondered if any 08's had a lion and wheel on br blue? Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi It is painted Blue, looks like the paint has come off or they have replaced the door at some point, its a pity i do not have my farthers note, but i am working on getting a copy for the photos. Also i do like the name for the 08 "BRIAN". Darren01 Edited July 31, 2013 by darren01 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first set was taken in 1975 at Glasgow, St. Rollox Locomotive Works Darren01 Keep adding them Darren (especially the St.Rollox/Glasgow Works one's)! Slight mix up in some of the titling... In the first set GLASGOW WORKS 1975 - I think is Polmadie (maybe someone could confirm it) GLASGOW WORKS08 & 09 - Are at Eastfield.... In the second set Polmadie04 to Polmadie 07 - are all at St.Rollox In the the third set Polmadie11 to Polmadie13 - again are all at St.Rollox No matter the titling, these are certainly worth posting. Many thanks. Edited August 1, 2013 by Bob-65b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
