Aberdeen to Perth Via Forfar

[@bingbong7316]

Much of the section between Alyth Junction and Forfar was as straight as made no odds; the platelayers and gangers made it a point of honour to keep it suitable for 100mph running - and the A4 crews happily obliged. Alas, upon closure, these poor proud men of the permanent way broke down in tears that something so good was destroyed at the stroke of a pen.

Or even when the Kinross line was replaced with the M90 in 1971?

Brilliant footage of a steam paradise! Some nice controlled wheelspin at Forfar by 60532.

I travelled this line several times inthe 1960’s, behind A2’s,A3’s & A4’s. Really magnificent. The best runs I had were behind A3 60090. On the down “Grampian” +12 Forfar, Aberdeen O/T,return on the up”Granite City”,Forfar-Perth 321/2 miles ,booked 32 mins.,actual 29. This was a railway fans paradise,pity that it closed,as is noted by the stroke of a pen

I did more trips behind A4's from Buchanan St to Perth and Aberdeen, than I did out of Kings Cross.

Would anyone know the MK1 coach formation? I am trying to create as close as possible train formations.

Jumbled up footage is annoying
