  1. Their is a growing number of enthusiastic members for these live steam models the OO Live Steam Club site http://oolivesteam.comhas a lot of information on how to drive the little beauties as it takes a wee bit of skill to drive them but very enjoyable. BTW they look great outside on a frosty Morning

  4. There is this on utube which may be of interest Railway Roundabout 1959 'The Skye Line (Fort William to Mallaig)
  5. Been to Bonnybridge today and seeing Bridge of Muir in the flesh so to speak was breathtaking and for me it was the icing on the cake at this exhibition well done Peter and his team Bonnybridge exhibition although small has a lot of really good layouts well worth a visit.

  7. West Highland Line: Great Railway Journeys Through Time (Paperback) By John A. McGregor copyright John A. McGregor/Amberley Publishing The book gives a short resume of the original West Highland line; which links Glasgow and Fort William. It was opened all at once in 1894. From the north shore of the Firth of Clyde then passes the Gareloch, Loch Long and Loch Lomond, before crossing desolate Rannoch Moor. From Corrour, Britain's highest and most inaccessible railway station, it descends through Glen Spean towards Fort William. In this book, Dr John McGregor uses a collection of photographs to bring the history of the line to life. The photographs give a then and now of the various stations; some photographs I have came across before and a few new to me. My only criticisms are some of the photographs lack definition and therefore seem to lack quality; like printing your own photos in draft form on ordinary paper at home Otherwise a good read for the price of a couple of mags Price £14.99 or you may get it discounted by doing a little search on the WWW This book only covers the original West Highland line but there is another companion book called West Highland Extension: Great Railway Journeys Through Time [Paperback] John McGregor (still doing my paper round to get it ) Bibliographic data for West Highland Line Title West Highland Line Subtitle Great Railway Journeys Through Time Authors and contributors By (author) John A. McGregor Physical properties Format: Paperback Number of pages: 96 Width: 165 mm Height: 235 mm Thickness: 235 mm Weight: 301 g Language English ISBN ISBN 13: 9781445613369 ISBN 10: 1445613360 Illustrations note 170 illustrations incl 87 colours Publisher Amberley Publishing Imprint name Amberley Publishing Publication date 23 May 2013 Publication City/Country Chalford/GB Eddie
  8. Bodgit of the Glen I thought this was a West Highland layout if so Wit's this all aboot "I have also added some blue for the Lake, although again the colour will be adjusted later in the build." The only lake I know in scotland is the lake of menteith near the aberfoyle branch line all other wee bits of water which are bigger than a puddle we call Lochs up here!! Other than that yer wee layout is lookin great Regards Eddie
  9. I took these photos a few weeks ago at Arrochar and Tarbet which may or not help and last year at Garelochhead Following your project; which I like with interest regards Eddie
  10. Hi PE This link may be of some help there are a few photos in Ernie's Archives of Corrour http://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/7686788376/in/set-72157630842431296/
  11. The View of Corrour in the Argyll and the Highlands' Lost Railways is a good Old photograph of the station but it is from the north and does not give a good view of the box and cottage. eddie
  12. Corrour was built of red bricks and at one stage was rendered found a photo here which may be of use to you http://www.flickr.com/photos/34800790@N04/8214947890 http://www.flickr.com/photos/33161579@N06/8082840912 A search on Google images will bring up photos of Corrour Eddie
  13. Gary and across the road from the George you have one of my favourite wee shops in Inveraray the Loch Fyne Whiskies http://www.lfw.co.uk/ Eddie
  14. Great pics of your layout Mark thought I would add one of you great to see it up and running well worth the wait eddie
  15. A great wee book; for information on The West Highland, which is available second hand by doing a Google search is Author: DOW, George Title: The Story of the West Highland Summary: LNER booklet originally issued in 1944 and then enlarged in a second edition in 1947. This included fold-out diagrams of a typical station; gradients; carriages and locomotive details. The booklet was reprinted, uncredited and without the fold-outs and in my mind has poorly scanned photos Prices from £1.99 to £10.00 2nd edition includes WW11 port and traffic information Eddie
