I also remember Boyd the scrap man and man in the Reliant van selling paraffin on a Saturday.

Round at least once an night Bill Agnew's ice cream van.

Re: Ardrossan Gasworks Railway Siding

Re: Fishing Mill Dam
The Mill as the season went on was hard to fish due to all the weed. Thought is was shallower that in looked.
Never caught anything like a 3lb fish they got when moving the fish.

Re: Old railway film
Yes brings a lot of memories. I can remember the fireless loco at Shell. Good views of Winton and Montgomerie stations.
Can anybody remember when Montgomerie station was fenced off by Shell?
