    Thanks Tim. PS you were right about the Royal Scotsman going to Kilmarnock yesterday. In a script that would have graced any Ealing Comedy I skillfully failed to capture it at Leuchars, Invergowrie and finally at Gleneagles. Sometimes it just aint your day....

    SRPS Railtours : 27/08/17 1Z46 Tweedbank to Linlithgow

    I have posted a photograph of LMS Class 5, 44871, and West Coast Railway Company Class 37/5, 37685 "Loch Arkaig" passing through Dysart, Fife, on the abovementioned railtour. They made a very fine sight indeed. Perhaps someone can answer a question for me. Is the 37 dead in traffic or does it...

    1H85 Royal Scotsman - Edinburgh Waverley to Spean Bridge - 25-08-2017

    I have posted some images of the above movement on my Flickr stream if anyone is interested. Not sure what the passengers saw as they travelled as the rain was bucketing down and the cloudbase was around 2000 feet therefore hiding all the really impressive stuff...

    I have uploaded a few images of 73971 stabled at Fort William Oil Terminal. It isn't the easiest place to come up with imaginative angles as there is the oil terminal on one side and fencing all around but hopefully they look ok. For anyone venturing up to this site it is very easy to locate -...

    Friday 25/08 - Can anyone explain this Wemyss Bay to Craigentinny working?

    Hi everyone. Tomorrow morning there is a movement scheduled from Wemyss Bay to Craigentinny T&RSMD. RTT lists it as being FRGT with ZZ as the operator. The technical information at the top however states that it is a Class 315 EMU. Would I be right in assuming that this will in fact be a...

    I have been looking at RTT trying to sort out how the Up workings are going to be arranged. I assumed that the Glasgow Central to King's Cross would work as a curtailed (i.e. 13 coaches against 16) throughout with a 92 or a Skoda up front. The Inverness section will run as a full set...

    Well it certainly looks like being an interesting weekend at either end of the CS runs. I will have to look at the timings and see if I can squeeze in a trip to EDB. Meantime 92018 was stabled opposite Platform 7 at EDB this afternoon. Apologies for this shot looking similar to earlier posts...
