Steam’s Revival In Scotland - 2, FROM THE FORTH TO THE FAR NORTH - English • Great Railways

In his second film from Scotland, NICK LERA starts on the Firth of Forth with rare film footage from 1900, the 1950s and 1985 taken from within the girders of the famous Bridge, with many classic steam locos including an A4 Pacific. Next comes veteran North British 0-6-0 ‘Maude’ at Haymarket’s 1985 Open Day beside a Deltic diesel, before setting off from Waverley round Edinburgh’s suburban circle with unique views of steam passing Arthur’s Seat and Morningside. On the Kyle line a Black Five takes water from a stream beneath the track, while on the remote Far North Line as far as Helmsdale another Black Five trials a new radio transmitter replacing traditional semaphore signalling. More rare archive from the 1950s shows steam at Dingwall (with a glimpse of The Mound branch train), Culrain, Invershin and Wick, Britain’s northernmost station. A feast for fans of Scottish steam, again kindly narrated by the inimitable William Hamilton.

I was lucky enough to walk over the Forth Bridge. The rail used was hollow section to reduce weight. I got an end on view of a piece used to repair some lattice work on the bridge. There was a stock pile of the rail but the rolling mill had closed so once that was used the bridge had to be strengthened to carry solid rail.

My family emigrated to Australia in 1961. I still have fond memories of the ferries, featured at 2:52, from the 1950’s. Often, if the queue for the ferry was too long - as on bank holidays - dad would drive to the bridge at Kincardine.

An excellent upload and a total reminder of my childhood here in Suffolk; I had the VHS of this blended with Volume 1. Regards, Samuel Farris.

Thanks for a great video. I was on the train from Inverness to helemsdale in !986, I would have been aged 10 at the time and I remember the crew had problems with the water pump to fill up the tender on that journey.

RENFE Steam is on our upload list, Fernando, and should appear later this year, or early 2025. There's a big Collection to upload, and each one needs a lot of checking both technically and editorially. Thanks for your interest.
