We have put K1 62005 to bed - cleaned the fire, banked it up under the door and filled the boiler. All ready for the next morning's Jacobite steam run to Mallaig.

The summit of Ben Nevis is just about free of clouds. Taken from the footplate of 62005 on the Jacobite alongside Loch Eil on our last run of the week. The weather wasn't this fine the rest of the week!

It's midnight on shed at Fort William and under starry skies Thompson K1 2-6-0 62005 is gently smoking away in preparation for working the Jacobite to Mallaig the following day.

On the West Highland line & the 10.15 Jacobite crosses the River Lochy as it departs Fort William for Mallaig, headed by LNER/NELPG locomotive K1 2-6-0 62005, the foothills of Ben Nevis in the background. I arrived early at the location in full sunlight but of course that didn't last long and I stood for 20 minutes in the driving rain. Fortunately it relented shortly before the train turned up, result happiness.
