Wow i can see why this was one of your personal favourites Colin! Outstanding captures and shots, tell you what 406 made a really spirited getaway there and the clag was sublime haha! I really enjoy your wonderful achive footage, please keep it up, cheers Nick.
Thanks very much Nick 👍 Yes i think the driver of 406 was showing off to the camera to be truefull, not that i was complaining lol. And have no fear Nick, i will keep dropping ones in from the archive all the time it is pleasing folk like yourself. Take care and have a good week mate, regards, Colin.
Spotted a couple of locos on my layout, 47461, in blue stripe Scotrail, and 47550, which carries Mainline livery on my layout! Also, two of the 47/7s, I identified one as 47705 "Lothian", which, in May 1989, was transferred to Old Oak Common, repainted and overhauled into NSE livery at Stratford, and denamed. It was the second 47/7 to leave, after 47714. What was the other 47/7 we saw at Eastfield speeding past? And, the switch from the 47/7 to 47654, for the push pull at Perth, any ideas what that was all about?
Hi and thanks for watching and for the additional info re the 47/7s. My records show that the second 47/7 passing Eastfield was 47708 but i'm afraid i can't confirm 100%. As for the switch of locos at Perth i'm sorry but have no idea. Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching. Have a great week and take care, Colin.
😄😄No Ben, the thought of actually living up here and still filming Scotish railways never entered my head back then. No regrets though mate. Hope you have a good week and thanks for the comments, Colin.

Cheers Tom. I have to admit this video is one of my own personnel favourites thanks to the clagfest from 37406. Thanks for watching mate, Colin.

@colingarwood9971 that makes three locomotives in the video on my layout, as I have 47708! Hope to see more soon colin, many thanks!
Great footage Colin. Did you ever think back then that you would be releasing plenty of Scottish footage every month?
