2-6-4T Lady of the Isles - Mull Railway - 11.6.1985

2-6-4T Lady of the Isles - Mull Railway - 11.6.1985
This little 10.25inch gauge railway ran for about 30 years as a tourist attraction, but was closed in 2011 when its lease was not renewed.

Lovely image Phil, it's a shame it closed especially with so many people landing at Craignure these days.

It was the then owner of Torosay Castle, whose land much of the railway was built on, who refused to renew the lease, saying that his family had let the railway's owners have 30 years playing trains for free, or so it was reported at the time.

That is one sharp-looking loco. Beautifully designed and meticulously maintained.

Engines of this size - on 10.25 inch track - are nearly all built for tourist lines. So they are often quite attractively designed.

I'm afraid that's not an approach that would occur to the Canadian mind, Phil. Also an approach which explains my liking for the UK.

Thanks, Jaap. As you can see above, there were some issues with a light leak which led to me playing around with colour and saturation, but it looks OK now.
