nzscottish Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hello All, After seeing the East Kilbride clubs old "Aviemore" track plan, its a strong contender for my next layout. I have the steam allocations at Inverness and Aviemore for 1958 to 1962 and know there were spade loads of Black 5's on the Highland Main Line. I have even seen a photo of a B1 on shed at Inverness. My question is did any Clans or Brits work up to Inverness from Perth (during a layover from Kingmoor maybe) if only a rare occurrence? Thanks in advance NZSCOTTISH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A Clan made it to Inverness once or twice - but even though supposedly designed for the Highland line they were a rare sight north of Perth. The LMS 8F's were regularly worked to there during the war if you want a bit of variety to a Five.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzscottish Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks for the info. There must have been some decent loads behind those 8Fs! Just maybe circa 1960 there will be a international gathering of the clans in Inverness! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Have a look at:- https://shedbashuk.blogspot.com/2016/04/inverness-1938-1962.html Gives details of what was on Inverness shed on particular dates. No larger Standards. Standard 5MT 4-6-0's & Standard 4MT 2-6-4T. Andy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzscottish Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks mate I have trolled the shed bash site earlier but as you never say never. I thought Perth could have flicked a Kingmoor Standard up to Invers for a return trip. I've fired a Black 5 on the Strathspey so I do have a soft spot for those beasts....

andytrains Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Looks like a bit of "Modellers Licence" is the order of the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
