At a time when class 37s dominated the West Highland lines, it really was a joy to behold. Passenger, freight, and excursion trains all benefited from these RA5 type 3s. Amazing days, wouldn’t have missed it for anything!

Steam Sunday! The Queen of Scots charter approaches the West Highland port of Mallaig. The LNER K1 No.2005 was very much a regular on the line for a few years in the early 90s, working the steam specials on the West Highland extension.
