Power issues at Fort William resolved. These appear to have been caused by inadequate sized BUS wire where increasing capacity from 16/02 to 32/02 wire cured the problem although it was a painful and time consuming learning experience.

Much has been justifiably written about the scenic splendour of the WHL. Trying to capture this in model form with limited space is an impossible challenge although with a little thought it is possible to create the illusion of the line and the vast open spaces through which it traverses. The following pictures are some of my favourite of the hundreds I have taken of WHL so far:

37022 approaches Garelochead with a southbound service from Oban

27032 south of Ardlui with a Mossend bound freight

37108 arrives at Ardlui with an Oban service

37026 pulls away from Ardlui with a Mallaig Junction to Mossend freight

37's cross at Ardlui

37049 and 37003 double head the empty Alcan hoppers as they return to Blyth

27041 about to depart to Corpach from Mallaig Junction yard with a trip working

Boarded crossing at Mallaig Junction yard
