Many trains at Boat of Garten - 17/18 October 2025

Following on from the previous P'Way blog - Thursday and Friday saw the Rail 200 Inspiration train stabled in the back platform at Boat of Garten open for the public to visit.



Above photos thanks to G.Sutherland at end of play Friday.
(Hope the many visitors noticed our infrastructure maintenance!)    



As part of the visit there is a special Strathspey Railway Gala with two train running with mixed traction! (by the looks of things) 
Thanks to Rob Law for above two photos
--------------------
Saturday saw partial normality return, as the Rail 200 train had departed but apparently the two train running was still in operation.


Akin to "how many men to change a light bulb?" Answer : four! (as I had already failed with the powerful battery wrench first) - all to remove one chair screw! 
Fortunately they weren't all as hard as this one, dismantling all the chairs from the dead sleepers that Georgie had retrieved.


After luncheon was more of the same but it was easier as at least most of the sleepers were upright - alas we still could not see much of the many train movements taking place yards away!

Thanks to Mike,Fergus,Jeremy Iain, Michael & Ian (who joined in after his track inspection)
