Could I be needy and request a map view screenshot? 
Excellent route! Love the busy bustling atmosphere

Yes a mini map view would be cool!
If i zoom in any closer on this all you will see is Glasgow street names covering the screen.....i hope this is ok.
Silversmith and JWEwan(tks for the kind words) clearly have more knowledge of "old" Glasgow than me and will spot the flaws in my first attempt at realism......The bending climb up High Street towards Castle street should be a bit steeper.....the descent to the Tolbooth steeple at the Trongate (still a WIP) should have started at the junction instead of Ingram Street.......the view along George Street towards St George's Parish Church,visible in the distance is a bit too long.

Hi, Hotgrove.
Thank you for another string of pics of your route. My mouse scroll wheel and scroll finger work overtime as I browse to and fro, admiring your placement and mix'n match of shops, buildings and the many touches of urban snd suburban life
.
Please carry on and double please for an eventual release.
Earlier in your thread we discussed the availability of other Glasgow PSVs on DLS. After the last reference I shot off at a tangent and got a bit bogged down in a matter that was causing some concern.
I intend to post a mini review of my mainly British trams and Trolleybuses since TRS2009. in the 'Bygone and Preserved Trams......."
I have never visited Scotland so my knowledge of Glasgow has been gleaned from books, video and, of course combined with valuable advice and guidance from rjhowie and JWEwan, both from Glasgow and RussellBenton from Paisley
Regards, Alan

Thanks for the encouragement kind sirs.As i said earlier in the thread,i would love the addition of those buses in the Glasgow livery but i'm unable to use any of them.Trainz shuts down as soon as i click on the ?......I have a suitable traffic region that i can use but it dosen't quite work with the trams running down the centre of the road.....I'm not following any maps (which i now regret) so it's a bit hit and miss and wont be accurate in any way.I will be relying on books and old video footage to capture locations that were destroyed by that horrendous road.As for an eventual release silversmith i'm not sure........there is no moving trafffic (as yet)....i'm not very adept with levers and portals etc and don't want to let anybody down with a route that will come with a bundle of errors and missing dependencies...........I will crack on regardless and could always send the route to anybody that wants a look......regards Stewart.
JWEwan, your knowledge of Glasgow is far superior to mine as i was born after the demise of the caurs.Having reached the High street,Duke street junction i have taken my route along George street as far as Queen street station but i plan on leaving this here for now and continue up Castle street.After searching for some old maps i'm still none the wiser where Castle street meets Springburn road.......the reason i ask is because i want to include the Royal Infirmary.......would you know if the trams run all the way past the old building before meeting Springburn Road or do they diverge before......at Glebe street for instance.
