Dan Hill liked J Shuttleworth's post in the thread 4920 Dumbleton Hall.
Yes, one of our more entertaining days. Although the Hall was cleared right through to Mallaig, the local p-way suggested a physical check might be sensible at Banavie - and then all hell broke loose and the media had a field day! At least it...

Dan Hill liked Matt37401's post in the thread 4920 Dumbleton Hall.
I recall seeing photos of it at Banavie with angle grinders being used to cut stuff back on the platform, I think Railway Mag made a big fuss of it being the furthest west a Hall had ever gone to Arasaig.

Dan Hill replied to the thread 4920 Dumbleton Hall.
I think that was the case. The loco would run with her regular Olton Hall nameplates when not on filming duties (Although a bit of searching brought up the loco occasionally carrying the Hogwarts Express headboard as well as a Wizard Express...

Dan Hill liked Sawdust's post in the thread LNER Beaver tail observation saloons, what's happening with them ?.
