On an astronomical scale, Stobs Cross was not far away, but is the place you desrcibe no dount east of Partick station(s) Both stob cross itself and the depot were long gone before my time !
It was sidings, probably no turntable, but with a dirty great 19th c/ early 20th C brick building.
After the war at least, there were some push pull steam services in the west glasgow area, so maybe the shed found use for that having been one of the smaller Caledonian railway's servicing depots.
I think I may have a sketchy picture of a 26 in the sidings, 110 film, through a 303 window, c 1979 but it would take the next 30 years to find it....
Ha...curiosity/cats etc
I suppose this depends whether you were with Mrs Bittern at the time (no disrespect of course!) and indeed roughly how old she is.
Stobcross was indeed a sub shed of Dawsholm (closed early 50s?) so NB and I assume served the docks. Probably didn't have a turntable either being pugs no doubt. (N15s I notice)
The Caley line seems to have gone (served Partick Central). Indeed that 50s map I mentioned indicates sidings off Norval Street (near the old location of Partick, which has moved), so you may well be right. It really depends which part of Partick she noticed the locos and coal I guess...don't suppose she took any numbers!!

Well I got that wrong...Dawsholm was a Caley shed...though did have NB engines...so pugs nonetheless. I am even more confused now as the docks line (Yorkhill Quays and Queens Dock) appear to be on an NB line. Can you clarify Moog?
