While waiting for the steam train today I managed to get a few images of the surrounding scenery.

West Highland Line - The Great Marquess

Today saw the first steam train of the season head to Fort William.

This was the 'Great Britain V' tour with the Great Marquess - 61994 - locomotive pulling.

She had a few difficulties before she arrived at Crianlarich.

I believe the problem was with the coal as the locomotive was fine and steps were taken to rectify before she departed Crianlarich - about an hour late.

After braving a trek to the hills beyond Tyndrum a few images were taken as she crossed the viaduct.
