61994 climbs towards Achnashellach station with 1Z24, the 13:30 Kyle - Inverness leg of "The Great Britain III" railtour. As usual, the loco is returning tender-first, due to the lack of a turntable at Kyle. The 60' turntable at Kyle, commissioned as recently as 1946, was removed many years ago and is now in operation at the Strathspey Railway at Aviemore.

In foul weather, 47826 runs into Plockton station, at the head of 1Z48, the 16:15 Kyle - North Berwick SRPS railtour. Passengers on these trips have a choice of Plockton or Kyle. They get a longer break in Plockton, but the village is a bit of a walk from the station. Kyle is nearer the station, but the break is half an hour shorter.

47826, top+tailing with 47760, calls at Plockton with the SRPS railtour, returning to North Berwick. The annual visit of this tour is probably as busy as Plockton station gets. Most of these hardy souls will have walked down to the village, easy enough, but the trail back up the hill ain't so much fun, especially on a day like this.
