I've just noticed this in the schedules. I don't know what it will be like, but it might be worth a look. It's labelled as a series, but I can only see a single episode in the schedule. DOCUMENTARY: Scotland's Scenic Railways On: Channel 4 (4) Date: Sunday 15th December 2019 (starting in 6 minutes) Time: 19:00 to 20:00 (1 hour long) An anytime alert is set for 15 minutes before the programme starts Beneath vast mountains and across open moorlands, Scotland's railways connect coastal towns and rural villages through a Highland landscape voted the world's most beautiful railway. This programme meets the people who work on the railway and the steam enthusiasts who safeguard these iconic routes, offering a glimpse into a diverse community united by a passion for the nation's railways. (New Series, Audio Described, Subtitles)

A bit of gratuitous 70s Freightliner/NW Hoover porn (minus the moustache). Golborne, D422 4A56 (15.36 Heysham Harbour - London York Way) 24/08/71.

I came across these pictures from Abram Disposal Point, Leigh in the late 70s on Flickr which struck me as any easy conversion of the Hornby MSC version. In fact i did wonder if this one originally came from the MSC??

Thanks Kev. Unfortunately I could only find pictures of the Hartshead locos when they were being moved to Embsay in 1977. -

When I was looking for something else on Flickr I came across this picture which shows that there has already been a railtour on the new track before it was even completed! -
