It was Ian Futer’s writings in the Railway Modeller that
started my interest in all trains north of the border, and my interest hasn’t
stopped since. An opportunity to spend a
day around Crianlarich and Tyndrum in March 2012 enabled me to ‘stock up’ on
photo’s and gain a better feel for the area.
A kind workman also allowed me close inspection of the road/rail
vehicles they use there.
Also, he indicated that the sidings are Crianlarich are due
for closure, although a plans for a new timber loading facility have been
passed by the local authority, to be installed behind the Crianlarich
Hotel. Seems the possibility of
modelling freight workings in Scotland
Here are a few of the pictures:

Guess which direction I'm heading... |
