I remember back in late 70's the diesel locos used where Bo-Bo classes 2?, as was the Highland line to Inverness. They some times did a very good impression of steam locos with plumes of smoke and fire. When was the change to bigger class Co-Co as this would have require bridge and track works for the 3 axles bogies and greater loco weight.

Great Video but must add Arrochar (and Tarbert ) Station was removed after it was destroyed in a fire in late 1970s , it was Ardlui that was removed due to subsidence
@GordonDWebster Ай бұрын
@@eddiemackinnon528 thanks for the kind words. Though not sure you are correct about that. I’m fairly sure Arrochar’s was also a subsidence issue and without a doubt it was not in the 1970s. Arrochar still had a station building in the 1990s, which can be seen pictured in BR Past and Present book of NW Scotland, which I believe was taken around 1996-1998. You could be confusing it with Taynuilt on the Oban line. I believe its’ building was destroyed by fire.

I dont mind 156 trains but you would think for tourism purposes they would adapt a 3 car set to be more open and a small buffet area. I bet these lines will see 158's once their use has been expired on other parts of the network.

I found your channel tonight and watched the 'History of the West Highland Line'. Fantastic!

So much that I bought your book and will look out for the Friends of the West Highland Railway. Thank you very much.

Just started viewing - I love that line and first did it on the sleeper from Crewe with my Dad on a snowy day in February 1988. The return on a loco hauled service was truly wonderful in the snow and sunshine on the mid afternoon Fort William to Glasgow train - will never forget it. I’ve been on it many times since and hope to come up again next winter.
