Lord of the Isles 62005 at rest

Thanks Tim.

We drove forward and back several times at the A830 (not the A82) near Neptunes Staircase in order to find the locomotive at evening rest. Finally we were lucky.

We found a roadsign showing to a castle, followed this road, and at the left hand side of this road we found a depot with a gate with no trespassing. We entered trough the gate and found this 62005.

If it is misplaced, please show me where to put it by using the "misplaced" option.

The resolution on Google Earth is not the best in this aerea, and being a Dane it's hard to find some special places.

Greetings, Mogens.

Hi, this is where the depot is, a good vantage point is if you park in the layby opposite the Aliminium wks on A82 and climb over the stile and walk up the small hill to the little monument - you then get a grandstand view of the whole depot. I happen to work for West Coast Rly Co. as fireman so I get a good opportunity for photos! See my pics on Panoramio of Glennfinnan Viaduct from the footplate and at Lochailort where my other half took a pic as we came around the curve - I' the one in the woolly hat leaning out of the cab. All the best Tim

Thanks a lot Tim for the direction and tips. I have already enjoyed your photos on your site.

Here is all my own railway-connected photos

I won the one to the right in 2007

Have you perhaps seen this fire before

Another driver you may know?

another fireman you also might know

Best regards Mogens

Thanks very much Tim

With your help and information I have been able to put the names on my pictures of Peter & Bill... Two very nice "mad about steam" people and very "talkative"

"Keep up the steam"
