West Highland 1970s Sleeper Train
This N gauge West Highland Line train has an interesting prototype. The 1970s era 21:00 Sunday to Friday Euston to Fort William Sleeper train appears in the timetable as running to Mallaig, featuring a catering car from Glasgow to Bridge of Orchy except in summer to Mallaig. This means there were actually three portions involved, seating coaches from Glasgow to Mallaig being the not yet mentioned. In this photo the train is replicated shortly before arriving at Mallaig, so without sleeping coaches and minus the catering car. It all happened on a friends layout, but provided a very welcome change for the weekend from the usual covid froth. 25 September 2021
