PS Waverley On Her Final Cruise of 2012 Season


The paddle steamer 'PS Waverley' returned to the Clyde late on Saturday night after experiencing bad weather down South.

As today was her last cruise of the season she was very busy and the weather was kind to those that chose to sail.

I met her at Greenock as she arrived in the early - (but dark) - evening.


Her are some images before she departed to head to Glasgow for the winter.

Taking advantage of a little free time while awaiting the arrival of the PS Waverley.

Light was nice so here are a few images to enjoy from that tranquil evening.

Greenock and District Model Railway Club


 The Greenock and District Model Railway Club held their annual show a little earlier this year.

They also changed the venue from the Town Hall of previous years, to the Lyle Kirk in Union Street.

Personally I preferred the new location - all felt a bit more intimate and friendly - with the layouts seeming a bit closer.

I'm sure a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to ensure that the event is such a success.

I'm sure that the many visitors had an enjoyable time, went away with good memories, and no doubt now looking forward to next year.
