| Friday 17th and Saturday the 18th saw Spitfire Railtours take 37069 and 20302 to Fort William, Mallaig and Oban and there was no way I was going to miss this one. A very early start, a very late finish but what a tour, excellent company, superb thrash and the evening run to Mallaig was something else again. A big thanks to the DRS fitter who managed to get 302 working at Fort William so we could take it to Mallaig, saved our weekend. |
