1984 part II , part 2

I wonder if the following weekend was one of those "green" ticket set ups or if I borrowed someone's week long ticket: I do remember showing a freedom to the bus driver.

By the looks of things I covered various bits and pieces on the Portions and Carlisles but ended up behind boilered scottish syphons, at their best, with not a whisp of steam in sight. Also a pleasent little run on my own, aka pella, to Kyle behind a cosey little old 26: This may have been steaming actually, despite it beiong august and hot later in the day over Skye.

Dumbarton (dun britton) was far enough for me : I was knackered. Also this was the summer of endless heat wave and I destinctly remember being on a "wedged" mallaig train with 37106 giving a fine growling performance up to Arisaig.
