| A few shots of Duncan Hill Ltd watering locos in Scotland on Nigel Dobbing's Railway Touring Company's 'The North Briton' tour - steam hauled from Kings Cross to Kyle of Lochalsh and back using four preserved locos. Duncan Hill were also called upon to do watering at Berwick on the ECML and Kingmoor Yard, Carlisle. From our part many thanks to all those whose help we couldn't have done without. The Network Rail MOM's at Morpeth, Carlisle and Carstairs and signallers at Motherwell and Carlisle PSB's - you know who you all are. Also many thanks to Peter Monaghan of Caledonian Processors, Motherwell, Andy McNish of Oakbank Services, Dumfries and John McAuley of CPL Distribution, Mossend for helping us to provide the water. Thanks also to Gary Brownhell of EWS's Motherwell TMD and to Jim Smith and Steve Chipperfield, EWS Traction Inspectors for helping me to sort out the logistics! Special acknowledgement to my good friend and fellow driver Alan Mattinson for providing the shots themselves. Good work, Slasher! |
