Current preserved motive power reflects British Rail in the mid-60s during the transition from green to BR Blue.  All coaching stock is turned out in maroon which suits the Mark 2 coaches although when in BR service they ran in the then standard blue/grey livery - PHOTOS Malcolm McCrow

Reminiscent of a Glasgow-Aberdeen express in the early 60s, the 1200 from Brechin arrives at Bridge of Dun on what would have been the mainline  from Stanley through Forfar to Kinnaber Junction.  After arriving at Bridge of Dun, D5314 runs round its train - PHOTOS Malcolm McCrow
D5314 gives an allusion to running light engine to Forfar, while in effect about to haul its train of Mark 1 and 2 stock back up the preserved branch to Brechin - PHOTOS Malcolm McCrow
During the day the Class 37 made a double headed run with blue Class 27 - PHOTOS Malcolm McCrow
