SOME LIKELY LAD FROM PATHHEAD, NEAR EDINBURGH, SENT IN A CONTRIBUTION TODAY. "WHITE JOHN" ROBERTSON HAS BROKEN HIS DUCK WITH US AND SENT IN WHAT HAS TO BE THE RAREST FOTO YET, AND IN TODAYS HEALTH & SAFETY MAD SOCIETY, IN A NEVER TO BE REPEATED SITUATION, BUT FIRST SOME QUALITY IMAGES OF CUMBERNAULD, IN ITS POMP.
Open Day in the late 1970`s according to White John, what would we give to see that depot so full of machinery again…
….and another….
…and now the special one…….how the hell did they get permission for this !! or did they !!
A new 33-11C, being escorted by the Morris Marina, right down Ferry Road in Edinburgh, on the way to Blindwells O.C.C.S., and according to John, if you look to the left of the photo, just behind the Marina, there is something of a tall sign near the low wall, which apparently marked (at the time) the public house owned by Ken Buchanan, that well known Scots pugilist. Trade plates & headlights, and roll it on…we like that !!
Last one is on the site at Blindwells, and John is seen posing on the very left of the group, the rest being made up of the West of Scotland Excavations delivery team, with 2 of the 3 trucks they delivered.
