1984 Part II

I guess I actually started to get a bit bored with flailing off to Carstairs and paying excess to Edinburgh. Also there could have been more diuffs on these and the Carlisle route: depots probably hoarded duffs by that time with the lack of coal traffic releasing more locos during the miners strike.

Instead I concentrated on the west highland line, clocking up mileage on the established ED boilered locos and the new comers. Maybe I was mad, but anyway, there are only a handful of bashers who have accumulated over 10,000 miles on ED boilered syphons because the WHL was so slow a route to actually accumulate mileage on.

37152 was one of the last large syphons I did some miles behind that summer.

That and I love the scenery and craic.
