55022 Lochs and Glens Napier 14/09/11 part 3

Possibly the most enjoyable railtour I've been on yet behind 22. Footage split into 3 parts

Firstly redated from 10th August, then with a change of destination, this tour suffered its fair share of probs before even picking up passengers. Personally, the redate didn't cause problems and the change of destination was a bonus too. I've never been to Oban behind a loco before, whereas I used to work the Fort William sleeper so relished this opportunity greatly.

Nice weather, especially once we got into Scotland, and a storming performance all round from RSG made it a realy enjoyable day. The icing on the cake being officially allowed to go in the front coach on the northbound trip which meant we got a bit camera snappy :-)

Part 3 covers the rest of my daylight footage of the trip from Dalmally out to Oban northbound, and taking us down to Craigendoran Junction in the afternoon

Thanks to all involved for a really fantastic day. Roll on the October events (+ Alcans!)
