We had to wait a good 45 minutes before something moved,in the form of 37609 dragging 37610,which had just been named 'The Malcolm Group',from Glasgow Works to Kingmoor(Below).
All in all not bad for an hour and a half!!

| Off two of us headed to Carstairs to photo 55019 on the 'Silver Jubilee' railtour from Edinburgh.Arriving at 3 o'clock,50 minutes before it was due,we found we were only the second there after expecting it to be quite busy.The other chap was on a pile of ballast with two tripods and he vanished suddenly,either being told to move or falling down the back!! We had to wait a good 45 minutes before something moved,in the form of 37609 dragging 37610,which had just been named 'The Malcolm Group',from Glasgow Works to Kingmoor(Below). |
