Another thread of photos from me! Yesterday, Class 40 No. 40145, recently painted into BR Large Logo livery and named "East Lancashire Railway", hauled an SRPS railtour from Linlithgow to Inverness and return, the homeward journey tavelling via Aberdeen instead of the Highland Mainline. This...

Hey, Friday night I was out at Manuel Junction, waiting to see the engine movement from ELR Castleton - Carnforth - Bo'ness which involved Deltic No. 55022 "Royal Scots Grey" hauling D5010, 37175, D8020 and 40145 "East Lancashire Railway". This was in preperation for the Bo'ness diesel gala...

Okay, might be abit of a long post, so bare with me. Thursday - Well, Class 47 No. 47245 passed through Cowdenbeath with the A4/K4 Support Coach Heading to Thornton. No. 61994 was being steamed that night in preperation for the engine movement on the Friday from Thornton to Bo'ness. It was...

Well, yesterday proved exciting in places. For many years, the SRPS has operated it's Railtour programme without any steam services included at all...mainly due to the lack of steam locos North of the Border. However, with A4 No. 60009 "Union Of South Africa" and K4 No. 61994 "The Great...

As some of you may have heard about or seen yourself, for the past two weeks Stagecoach has been trialling a crossing service over the Forth from Kirkcaldy in Fife, to Portobello in East Lothian. Well today was one of the last days you could get on it....and seeing as I had never even seen a...

Well, first I feel inclined to inform people who won't know what is so special about the run I photographed on Saturday to Manuel. Well.....At The Bo'ness And Kinneil Railway, the total length of the route from Bo'ness To Manuel Junction ( where there is a current mainline connection ) is...

Well.....finally, I saw No. 60009 "Union Of South Africa" again. As you may know, the A4 is working "The Hadrian" tour down South in place of unavailable V2 No. 4771 "Green Arrow". Now, 60009 was scheduled to make the move from Thornton down to Crew last Thursday. So, in the pouring rain...

You knew it would happen sooner or later!!!! Once again, I returned to the Bo'ness And Kinneil Railway. Odd for me this year as my visit has been quite late this year, usually I'm there within the first operating week. Anyway, Morayshire is now in regular service, so was hauling our 3 Mk1...

As The Great Britain Tour Draws To An End This Evening, A4 No. 60009 "Union Of South Africa" and K4 No. 61994 "The Great Marquess" Have Travelled To Their New base At Thornton. I Suspected They Would Come Through About 6.20pm, However They Were About 7 Minutes Down. It Was Worth It However As...

Although I never saw as much of it as I wanted to, I have to say, what a tour it has been. Very successful I believe, and it was very good to see steam back in Scotland.....for good I hope. So, what happenned today. Well..... I woke up at 5am, and left Cowdenbeath at 5.25 for the trip up...

Hey, Well, today has been an odd sort of day. Last week I received news from my grandparents that they would not be returning from Wales until today, thus I would miss today's section of the tour that I had planned to go see. However, they came back yesterday, and wanted to take me to see...

Hi Guys, does anybody have timings for today's section of the Easter Highlander from Inverness to King's Cross. I haven't been able to come across timings yet but I'm hoping to see it today. Thanks Jonathon

I Was Out Today At Port William, But Raced Back To Mossend Yard With The Family In Hope Of Seeings A4 No. 60009 "Union Of South Africa" and K.4 No. 61994 "The Great Marquess". We Had The Plan Of Only Staying For 10 Minutes, As The Two Younger Ones Were Not Into This Sort Of Thing So Would...

Hey, Well. Today saw some of the first mainline steam locomotive action in Scotland outside of Glasgow ( excluding the Jacobites. ). So technically, what I am saying is the first steam west of the WCML and north of the border. Anyway, I had to go see this...I consider Scotland as my...

Well here are my photos from today, was quite a busy show and very enjoyable as usual: Plenty more here aswell: http://jonathonag.fotopic.net/c1217091.html Thanks Jonathon.

Today I Was Taking A Trip 100 Miles South To Near Dumfries To Visit Family Down There, And Usually When This Happens I Rarely See Anything On The WCML. However, Today There Was Engineering Work Taking Place Between Glasgow And Dumfries....And So At A Service Station Near Abington....I Took...

Hello, Finally managed to get a chance to properly test out my new camera, a Fuji Finepix S5600, by having a little birthday outing. So me and my father took the train from Kirkcaldy ( A GNER HST - Namer: Harrogate Spa ) to Edinburgh Waverly for a little trip around Edinburgh. Anyway, on...

Well, it's that time of year isn't it. Santa Specials rule our railways, but they have a certain charm to them. Anyway, the Bo'ness And Kinneil Railway, being my usual haunt, was the place on the cards today for me as I went and used my current camera for possibly the last time this year as...

Hi, Having got permission from my grandpa, I have uploaded many of his photo he took during the late 1980's with a 35mm camera. They span from The Ffestiniog Railway to a SRPS Steam Xmas Railtour at Waverly. There's also much more than that, and can be found at the usual location...

The second and last day of the B&KR's diesel gala, the first of which I have attended. I have to say I was loving every second if it, not only this time was I left there by myself ( no family!!!!! ), but also it featured two very famous and great visitors - Deltic No. 55022 "Royal Scots Grey"...
