I lived in Oban in the mid 1970s and I can still hear the Class 26s slogging up Glencruitten Bank. By that time they were getting past it and failures were common. On one memorable occasion a train arrived in Oban nearly four hours late with three Class 26s on it only one of which was working. It's good to hear the Sulzer sound again but I wasn't sorry when the Class 37s appeared on the West Highland line.

What better way to increase the volume by being right underneath a bridge next to the diesel when it takes off! Thank you for the video and taking us down memory lane on the West Highland line mail train to Fort William & Mallaig. I had joined the Fort William portion at York, that had originated from Kings Cross. If I recall correctly it was 2 to 3 hours parked up in a platform at Edinburgh Waverly before moving onto Glasgow Queen Street. Now that is a great idea for a rail tour today King Cross, and York to Fort William via Edinburgh Waverly and Glasgow Queen street behind a pair of Class 26s c/w a rake of BR MKI BSKs.

Also with a yellow signal, what is the meaning of the 5 lights that are lit when the signal is yellow?The lights are skyward leaning left. Thank you for any anwers.
@MisterHampshire
2 жыл бұрын
If you mean a bank of white lights, they are found at points and serve as confirmation that they are set to that direction. For instance if the train will be going straight on at that point the white lights will be off; if the train is taking the left hand line the white lights will indicate that - similarly to the right of course. The two-tone horn is only two-tone and used to be at least controlled by a small lever. Pushing it forward/pulling it back would produce one of the two notes. What can sound like three or more notes is merely the crew operating the lever in quick succession.
