Rugd1022 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 That Dundee shot is a corker, it has the look of a typical 'photo of the month' pic from Modern Railways magazine in the '70s, a time when very few colour images appeared in the railway press . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train with the two (visible) Mk2fs in Scotrail livery is interesting too - I don’t recall them being diagrammed for Glasgow/Edinburgh - Inverness services, which were earlier non air-con Mk2s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Mk2Ds that are visible, but yes, while air-con Mk2s weren't common on the Highland mainline they did sometimes make it up there 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, according to a post on the WNXX forum, the 47 is also at Midland Road for a spin on the wheel lathe. There’s an STP path in the schedule for a return working for the class 90 on Sunday. Unknown if 47830 will be doing the honours. Edited July 1, 2021 by 4630 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
