Whilst on holiday in Scotland recently friend Peter Rose caught up with some of the activities on the rails.
As usual with Peter’s railway work his images are not edited by me and are reproduced here with his permission and my thanks.
One of the most notable feature of recent times has been the adoption of short 4 coach rakes of coaches with an HST power car at either end.
I sampled this type of formation some time ago on the ‘Great Western Railway’ and observed that the acceleration rate was phenomenal.

The provision of all that overhead electricity supply seems to cry out for bi-mode trains.
