edin_bry2x Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I believe that it was something to do with the engines not sure whether they were modified or replaced? What i would like to know is how they got there - was it under their own power or were they all hauled up there either as a train of their own or added into one of the Highland freight flows from Millerhill or Mossend. If anyone has any pictures of the units on their way to Inverness id love to see them. Cheers Bry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonC Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Were they not cut-up at Inverness? It may have been a one-way trip! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBird Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Sorry I can't confirm the source for this, but I have read somewhere that they were all sent to Inverness for scrapping. Several heritage lines were interested in them, for use as mobile self-propelled stores vans, but the presence of asbestos meant they couldn't be sold. Not sure why they were sent all the way to Inverness though? [cynic-mode] possibly so the heritage lines didn't know they were being scrapped [/cynic-mode off] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 They were withdrawn in 1991 and did not work postal Services to Inverness as far as I remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
