04/11/1951 3 cylinder 2-6-4T\'s in Scotland Regarding the arrival of 3 cylinder 2-6-4's in West of Scotland, the first to arrive was 42535, still with L.M.S. on tanks which was sent to Ardrossan, though bearing 67A shed plate. It ran on the morning Express from Largs to Glasgow for about 5-6 weeks, until so many protests were made, including letters to the daily papers, that it was taken off, and returned to 67A, 42212 being sent back to 67D. 42535 was unable to do the 42 mile run without an emergency stop for water, which lost time every day. Apart from that, it seemed good enough. We believe it is now at 66D. We have never seen 42530 out of St. Enoch. SLS/195201
29/12/1951 Empty Glasgow Central With traffic arrangements as they are during the winter of 1951/2 it is possible to have the unusual sight of platforms Nos. 1-9 inclusive at Central station, Glasgow, completely empty at a few minutes past two in the afternoon (Saturdays excepted). The 1.40 p.m. local from Busby is due at 2.3 p.m., and at 2.0 p.m. an outer Cathcart Circle leaves platform 7, while the 12.56 p.m. from Law Junction is just completing station duties at platform 3. At about one minute past two the station pilot leaves with the empty stock, usually passing the Busby train on the Clyde Bridge, and by the time the latter train has drawn to a halt at the buffer stops of platform 10 the engines which had brought the Law train in and the stock forming the two o'clock Circle train have been accepted by Bridge Street box and are on their way to Polmadie, so that passengers alighting from the Busby train can gaze across empty platforms to the stone walls beyond platform 1. Other trains in the station are the 1.42 p.m. from Kirkhill at platform 11, and the 2.10 p.m. for Wemyss Bay at platform 12, the latter usually behind 3-cylinder 2-6-4T 42535. SLS/195203
