Hi all. It has been an interesting start to the year 2010 in terms of capturing interesting photographs in interesting and atmospheric weather conditions of the Scottish railway scene so far. I have been able to capture odds and sodds over the four days into the new year so far. Photographs include 37s and steam at Bo'ness on Friday 1st Jan, trains working during a heavy snow storm at Polmont (on the Edinburgh - Glasgow line) on Saturday 2nd Jan as well a couple from Glasgow Central, Glasgow Central on Sunday 3rd January and Class 37s on the N.M.T. working today at Queen Street (rare). Photographs can be found and seen in the links provided below. For a more detailed caption also click on the links provided.
