Re uploaded this video as there was a problem with image changing from colour to black and white in the middle section of the film. Hope this one is OK.
Also for clarification at 20.50 there are 2 shots of Lambley on the Alston Branch which is not in Scotland but has a Scottish connection as this was the Scottish Rambler No6 Rail Tour which also visited Langholm later that day but due to poor light and heavy rain I was unable to film there.
In 1966 Scotland offered a good variety of locomotive types and filming locations with LNER Pacifics on fast express workings and 0-6-0 goods engines on branch freights. On the west coast of Scotland there were LMS
2-6-0s employed on coal traffic whilst a number of enthusiasts specials ran on local lines and over the spectacular Waverly Route.
The scenes in this video were filmed by me using a standard 8mm cine camera with the soundtrack recordings mostly made at the same time.
