    Superb stuff. That was a great period for freight on the West Highland line. I remember the walk to the shot where you filmed the freight coming round (last bar one) which I understand is 37406.

    Incredible video mate. Loved every minute. I spent a fair bit of time up there myself in 97/ 98/ 99. Used to stay in a guest house right by the footbridge by the yard there. You did well to see so many dutch 37s. I think you will find that the 153 shot is 294 mate.

    Brilliant archive footage of the tractors in the glens. Particularly enjoyed the penultimate shot of the UID 37(406?) across the valley.

    Terrible as 300 were built but we still can see them somewhere in the UK everyday, and sometimes in the highlands. I must thank you for finding this old video of mine.
