  • What was a typical rake for these trains?

  • @flymajj These were all regular service trains so pretty typical. In winter (thats when it rains even more!!) the trains were generally shorter - and virtually empty.

  • @flymajj I'm sure I've seen photos of two coach trains in winter. The beauty of loco hauled trains- flexibility.

  • superb footage of the highlands with proper traction un

    like nowadays

  • In a word superb!!

  • Interesting to see the "route clear" from Tulloch with the help of the station master/signaller/cleaner etc etc! Now all trains have to stop at Tulloch to send/ receive tokens.

    Brilliant vid! Takes me back!

  • Usually 5 on the oban and 6 on Ft bill. In the summer they were often longer, and even had several brake vans if cycling clubs booked in advance! With the old vac mark Is sometimes the Oban would be load 2 due to stock availability and the Mallaig could be a single coach.

  • awesome line, awesome locos to match! 5*

  • What a beast! Awesome noise.

  • Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing!

  • These vids are absolutely brilliant, really take me back. Imperfect everyday scenes are what the railway is about. Well done!
