Good video 👍. Great sound as they climb through the woods.

Thank you so much, Matt. It was so amazing to hear the class 50s for the first time, and it was worth the trip, especially as it climbed through Culloden Woods with a great thrash and tones. 😀

Nice video! Great to see the class 50s up here

[@brandonstone9326]

Thank you so much. It is sure is a change from the usual loco's that go up here and it's not the first time that I saw a class 50, but it's my first time that I heard it in person. It was so amazing to hear it thrashing through Culloden Woods and hear the tones as they headed south to Perth. It will stick to me now for the rest of the year and onwards. 😊

[@brandonstone9326]

Thank you. Yeah, it was so amazing to hear the class 50's for the first time, and it's so magnificent to hear them thrashing up the hill and passing through Culloden Woods. Some of the crew from GB Railfrieght that I do recognise, especially the guard that was onboard the train today (I remember the guard onboard, when GB Railfreight took on the contract for the Royal Scotsman in 2016) 😃

​@@brandonstone9326Yeah it was amazing to hear them going through Culloden and up the hill and that's awesome u saw some familiar faces

[@brandonstone9326]

​@randomvideos4767, it sure was, and the most eventful one too. A load of rail enthusiasts came around from different parts of the UK and Scotland to see the pair of class 50's and it sure is one of many diesel that is so iconic to the national network (along with the class 37's, class 55's, class 47's etc) that are built in the 60's and are still going strong. 😁
