Ffestiniog 70`s Rail tours

[stephenjrhodes]

I remember in about 1975-76 going on a trip from Stockport ( May have started from Crewe) to Kyle of Lochaish Scotland .
It was on a friday night in either March or April arriving at inverness Saturday morning and on to Kyle of lochaish and return to Stockport on Sunday.
I just wanted to know if anyone else was on the trip because I wondered it they know what number was the Class 40 that hauled the Train

All my old books and Railway records was damaged in storage 12 years ago thats why i can`t give an exact date or time

Cheers

Which parts did the 40 work?

[stephenjrhodes]

thats also something i can`t remember because i think they change loco`s around the glasgow area and can`t remember if the put a 47 on or another 40. I know is from the ffestinog railway Societly because we use to used them alot for trips in them days. I`m Sure it came back over the seattle line as well . seem to remember that as well.
