+Trevor Ledgeway That's very nice of you to be watching this very old footage Trevor i wish I had more time to release more of it. Mike.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Absolute Classic shots Mike. That wonderful sound in the Highlands.

[@antman09ful1]

+SMILEVIDEOTRAINS It certainly is Keith. cheers Mike.

[@pmallenuk]

Superb stuff. That was a great period for freight on the West Highland line. I remember the walk to the shot where you filmed the freight coming round (last bar one) which I understand is 37406.

[@antman09ful1]

+pmallenuk Oh I thought I did it on my own ?

[@sidslick1]

Great video!

[@antman09ful1]

Great days.

[@jammiebeasts]

Incredible video mate. Loved every minute. I spent a fair bit of time up there myself in 97/ 98/ 99. Used to stay in a guest house right by the footbridge by the yard there. You did well to see so many dutch 37s. I think you will find that the 153 shot is 294 mate.

[@antman09ful1]

+jammiebeasts Great Days, will have to find some more from that time.

[@antman09ful1]

Pleased you have enjoyed this old footage sir.

[@andrewrcmadwilkinson6999]

OCH AYE THE NEW

[@antman09ful1]

Well you found this old footage of mine. Cheers.

[@pxsrrail2558]

Sad that most of these are now non-existent. It's a big waste of a fantastic line!

[@antman09ful1]

Terrible as 300 were built but we still can see them somewhere in the UK everyday, and sometimes in the highlands. I must thank you for finding this old video of mine.

[@pxsrrail2558]

@@antman09ful1 Also, the west highland is wasted for freight. It has so much more capacity than is used
