Visitors to the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway last week were treated to an extra large slice of nostalgia courtesy of a group of enthusiasts who hired the scenic heritage line for a four day photo shoot starring the beautiful Sir Nigel Gresley designed LNER locomotive, Morayshire, which is maintained and operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS) at Bo’ness for owners National Museums Scotland.
This photo shows Morayshire, BR number 62712, newly painted in British Rail Lined Black complete with early British Railways Lion & Wheel Crest at Birkhill Station. It is the first time in over 50 years Morayshire has been in BR black livery and hundreds of visitors are expected to attend the Mixed Traffic Gala at the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway which will mark the occasion of Morayshire’s first ever gala in this livery on 31 May and 1 June.
