Smoke signals and token gestures
Another slide from the batch I scanned for the first time a few weeks ago.
Seen here leaving Oban with the 5.45pm service to Glasgow Queen Street are BRC&W units 27003 and, all but hidden by the mucky exhaust, 27043.
I chose a composition to capture the token exchange and, given it was a one-shot opportunity, it looks like the reflexes at the start of my 3rd decade were in fine working order. I can say for sure that they've deteriorated since - along with a few other functions.
A pity the weather was overcast when I took the shot, yet ironically had improved by the time I got down to the harbour later in the evening where a nice sunset was going on.
