More gold, what a high ballast shoulder! Nice to see the ‘Mexican Bean’ DMU on the rear of the train. I traveled the Oban line the January before this film, in deep snow. Thanks so much for showing these wonderful films.

The Mexican Bean was usually attached to a service to get back for servicing at Eastfield.

The RETB electronic token block signage is up,but the new system is not yet in use. We seek traditional single line tokens exchanged using the traditional loop holder.

'Tyne - drum' not Tin Drum. Tay - nult, not 'newlt'. Loch Etive, not 'Eetive'. And Balachulish is 'Bala - hoolish' not 'coolish'. Cruachan has the stress on the first syllable.

The Mexican Bean didn't survive, meeting its end at Snailwell toaster.
