Ian.G Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Having spent many years wanting to build a layout on a real location, I have finally decided to build a layout based on Glasgow Queen Street during the 1980's as I like this period of train movements and because I can do this in the small space that I have. I have spent many hours researching on the internet and found lots of informative pictures, but I have been unable to find clear pictures of the station concourse and interior buildings. I would like to know if people are able to let me know what shops were at Glasqow Queen Street, I have been able to identify some but not all? I thank people in advance for any information given.

Marly51 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Ian, I travelled a lot to Glasgow in the 1970s and can only remember the newsagents in Queen Street Station, which might have been John Menzies back then. Are you on Facebook (or have a friend/family on FB)? There may be an ‘Old Glasgow’ page and if you posted that question there, you might be amazed at how many responses you get! Isn’t it annoying that we never thought to photograph the places we took for granted back then? Marlyn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 55020 Posted October 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi Ian, I'm doing the same, with the era being mid 70s to mid 80s. I've been harvesting various photographs over the last couple of years, so will have a look to see if I have anything showing the shops in the 80s.

Steve I've looked through all my images, but nothing shows the concourse end of the station close enough to be of any use. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian.G Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 I hadn't originally planned to Model Glasgow Queen Street, the reason I took no photo's during ny visits to Glasgow. I thank you for looking for pictures. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bell Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 How are you getting on with your GQS plans? I am modelling the same location but earlier than your plan. (1950's- 60's) so the track plan is a little different to yours. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
