55022 Lochs and Glens Napier 14/09/11 part 2

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 2 takes us from Arrochar up to Dalmally on the northbound trip.

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