Nice collection :-

My punt for Locations :-
6 , 7 & 9 / 17 Fort William shed.
5/17 road bridge north of Beasdale station - heading towards FW.
4/17 dropping down to Loch Eilt (willing to be corrected on that one)
15 & 16 / 17 Kinloid
and just for completeness 17/17 is of course Glenfinnan.

 

I agree with all of that, Scott

A couple of additional notes. 1/17 looks like a regular pick-up goods to me and not a PW train. It was normal to convey departmental/dormitory coaches from location to location in goods trains in that part of the world.

I particularly like 13 & 16/17. They are of the same train taken from a familiar but rarely photographed location at the bottom of Kinloid Bank.

Another excellent collection there Neil - thanks again for posting.

The one coming off Keppoch Moss is 62052, we had that on one of the WHL charters, 61005 renumbered! Oh for a new build side window cab K2, I was hoping the A1 Trust might do it as a mixed traffic loco that could be legitimately named.

 

Read that as 62052 and not 61052. I know that @Johnb knows its a K1 and not a B1 - just correcting the typo.

 

Now done, you are correct, fingered just hit the wrong digit!

 

Thanks for the locations captions updated
