This is a tentative topic about the Ballachulish Line in Scotland UK. I have written a series of blogs which might be of interest to members of the forum. The line travelled through some of the most picturesque scenery in Scotland.

I was reading through some old magazine over Christmas 2018. One was an old "Hornby Magazine" from 2012. My original intention was to produce a short reflection on the Ballachulish Line but it is developing into something much longer. There will be more parts to this story!

This is the first post:

In Part 1 of this story we covered much about the history of the line between Connel Ferry and Ballachulish. We start Part 2 with a few reminders of what was covered in Part 1 and provide some additional material from various sources before continuing our journey North along the branch.

This is the third of three posts planned to cover the Ballachulish Branch. It includes the final length of the line approaching Ballachulish, some details about the quarries and a November 1950 article about the line which has been taken from The Railway Magazine of that date.
