Thank you, yes, maybe just one carriage over ambitious. Beautiful location. Not for me to presume about where you could have been many hours later but I for one would have loved to have heard even if not seen the eventual escape from Oban. Judging by how the sound carried earlier, the 2 cyl at the front, plus 3 cyl at the back, must have sounded superb.

Although it still looks light when the K4 appeared it was almost dark so I had to come off the hill. I reckoned the train would have to wait until the last service train arrived so I headed back into Oban to discover the train had just left. No major problem in the dark and as you suggest the sound was fantastic with the machine gun chatter of the K4 coming & going to reveal the much slower beat of the Black 5 on the front end as they climbed away. Worth the 6 1/2hr wait!.
