Incredible captures of varied motive power amid Scottish highland scenery. It just came up on my feed and I subscribed immediately. Black 5s have the best exhaust bark od all steam locos.
I take it the class 73 was on ETHAL duties but still has drive capacity? Backing up the Pullman with no mirrors, must have done it before as the train stopped well down the siding from the point works ? Must have done a some of work on the tracks as 3 axle bogie (as class 66 and the class 31 and others) did not use to go on the West Highland until the class 37. Something to do with axle load and wheelbase on the curves. In the picture of the Pullman the point work on the main line has a reverse curve on the left track through the point.
Why does the sleeper train need the class 66 as well? When i traveled to fort William on the sleeper the class 73 was on its own and seemed fine to manage to load
As far as I understand, it is to do with providing train heat, as well as for assistance for getting over inclines. The class 73s can struggle in wet weather.
Certainly a busy day for today's standards, great footage. I share your pain about delays on the Highland roads; in the summer it is getting worse, both with roadworks but also queues caused by slow drivers. Chasing trains up there for multiple shots is easy enough when you don't have these hazards, like in the evenings. I did get caught out on one occasion recently by the works at County March Summit on the A82. I have a shot of the sleeper arriving and departing the exact same spot at Helensburgh but with a 67 in charge. I am working on a documentary on my channel about the history of the line as well.
Nice video great camera work as usual I am really enjoying your lovely videos and camera work keep your lovely camera work up I am really looking forward to seeing your next video I hope you get a nice video next time also when is your next video going to be on RUclips bye for now Philip
The Caledonian Sleeper has two locos, the class 73 for cupping to the Mk5 coaches and for providing ETH (extra train heat) and the 66 is used to haul the train as it doesn’t have suitable couplings for the coaches. Both locos are need on this route to prevent wheel slip.
MICKEY MOUSE RAILWAYS PLAYING MUPPET AGAIN ! Hilarious - Southern Region Class 73 ELECTRIC locos in Scotland ! So when did "Notwork Rail" lay in 750v DC third rails in the wilds of Scotland ? Another classic example of the idiotic Muppet railway network of Britain. If they can't even get their Logistics correct, to get a more suitable loco type for the train. As I doubt any Driver in Scotland is passed out to drive or oversee the inclusion of a Class 73 in the train !!!

Hi, what camera did you film this on? Many thanks.

The documentary sounds interesting. I do miss Class 67s in the Highlands. Thanks for commenting and watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very few passengers are seen.Railway station without passengers is looking dull.
Is it NG? Thanks for nice video.

Does Crianlarich still have the nice station cafe?
From looking at the Facebook page of the tea room, it appears to have ceased trading as of August this year.
What is 121 "Flora" going to be used for?
At this stage, it is going to be used by Jeremy Hosking and guests on his ‘Chairman’s’ train.
what is the bubble car going to be used for?

Where were the first 2 stations
The first two stations were Helensburgh Upper and Arrochar and Tarbet. Thanks for watching.
Why have two locos on the front?

Busy?......where are people?......
This is Scotland - that's a lot of people for October!
“Busy” is referring to the amount of workings taking place on the West Highland Line on this particular day. Thanks for watching.

Several drivers are passed out to drive Class 73s in Scotland. Thanks for watching.
