New Riverside Transport Museum Glasgow

Is Alan Boddell (my old Chemistry teacher at Hawick High School) still involved in Hawick's annual model train exhibition?

Yes, Alan Bodell is still treasurer of the Hawick Model Railway Show which is held annually in August.

Great pics Jimmy though I am unable to see the one of you sitting inside the Three Judges. The view from the window onto Byres Road brings back lots of happy memories of my days at Glasgow Uni. I've been set to visit the new Transport Museum twice but so far circumstances have conspired against me, perhaps I will get there while I am in Glasgow for the Model Rail show at the SECC in February.

Alex, it certainly is worth a visit although some of the more traditional transport devotees feel that it has not the same atmosphere as the Kelvinhall or its previous site in the south of the city. One of the reasons is because the powers that be have not included one of the four remaining Coronation trams at the Riverside. Personnally I think this is a glaring omission.
I took the photo of Byres Road from inside the judges, its not a great photo.

Aye, I've been at the Drovers a few times driving up towards Oban and Fort William. The guy who owned the Drovers and the Uisgbeatha was in the same class as one of my two best pals from Uddingston at Holy Cross High School in Hamilton back in the late 70's early 80's.

I know that a Duncan MacGregor was a previous owner and he sold it on to his nephew Drew who came from Uddingston. Drew must have sold it to the Australian about 10 years ago.
