STEAM & STAGS AT GLENFINNAN

Steam returned to the WEST HIGHLAND line some years ago, so watch while a steam hauled train crosses the viaduct where Harry Potter in his flying car nearly came to grief. Then see my very close encounter with 2 magnificent MONARCHS OF THE GLEN while walking back from the viaduct. Scotland is just too beautiful.

Thanks for this BETAMAN, I have a genuine tear in my eye hearing this. He was such a magnificent animal. I felt very priviliged and exhilerated to have such a close encounter of the stag kind, Hugh.

I was only joking, But your still a lucky man.

I think we have unwittingly met, because I've bought DVDs from your shop and worked in the yard.

Excellent footage Hugh, your video shows how stunning the West Highland line is and that it is a proper feat of engineering.

Cheers Phil.

excellent video,one of the better ones on You Tube. I have done that line many times,loco-hauled by a diesel,and by steam,that loco was one of them,and journeys by the modern day trains,the most wonderful line I have ever travelled,and before Harry Potter brought to the publics attention.
