Family trip to Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway in Scotland for my son Kyle's Birthday
The Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway has been developed since 1979 on a reclaimed site on the south shore of the Firth of Forth and now welcomes over 60,000 visitors aboard nostalgic steam and heritage diesel trains and through the doors of Scotland’s largest railway museum every year.
Several historic buildings have been obtained and re-erected to provide a traditional railway setting. Bo’ness station opened in 1981. The line was extended to Kinneil in 1984 and to Birkhill in 1989, where the Fireclay Mine was open to the public (closed permanently in 2013). From 2010 the passenger service operates over the extension to Manuel where a new platform was opened in mid 2013.
The railway is a popular film location; recent filming includes Case Histories for the BBC in 2011, Ken Loach’s The Angels’ Share, Cloud Atlas and The Railway Man.
The Museum of Scottish Railways at Bo’ness is three large buildings full of historic locomotives, carriages and wagons, as well as models, displays and photographs telling the history of building, operating and using railways in Scotland. The Museum is recognised by Museums Galleries Scotland as being of national importance to Scotland

British Trains 13 - Fort William to Mallaig Jacobite steam and Bo'ness and Kenneil railway 1999
a video of steam, July 1999, summer as you can tell by the weather.
Firstly, sorry about the low res of this clip, as unfortunately it is what was recoverable from a 15 year old video tape.
the first clip is a trip on the Bo'ness and Kinneil railway, which is home to the Scottish railway preservation society.
the second clip was a trip on the Jacobite steam service from Fort William to Mallaig.
filmed over 2 days, the first day on the train, then the second day, chasing by car. the weather for the 2 days was wet, but thats Scotland. this does mean, that the B1 did slip a bit in the rail as there are steep grades and sharp curves over the route. one of the first clips is the train traversing the swing bridge go the caledonian canal, at the bottom of Neptunes staircase locks which are a series of 8 locks built by Thomas Telford between 1803 and 1822. i suspect i had a flat battery on the camera which was why there was no running into Mallaig clip or anything on the return, and on the chase day, i just couldn't get to the station before arrival
locos are north British Maude 65243 at Bo'ness, and Thompson B1 number 1264 on the Jacobite
some locations on this route were used in the Harry Potter movies, for example, shots of trains at Glenfinnan on the viaduct
B1 1264 is owned by the Thompson B1 Locomotive trust and was also allocated the number 61264 under the BR numbering scheme

Scottish Railway Preservation Society The Scottish Railway Preservation Society was founded in 1961, at a time when rapid change was sweeping away much of the infrastructure of the Victorian railways. The general object of the Society is stated in its Memorandum of Association :
'...to establish a Museum of Railways in Scotland whereby there shall be preserved locomotives, rolling stock and other equipment and relics of railways in Scotland and of the Scottish railway industry as may illustrate the characteristics of her railways...'
Railways had a particular effect on Scotland, allowing her to develop from a rather isolated part of the British Isles to a land with great industries, whose engineers were known the world over. The industries of steel, coal, shipbuilding and engineering, which brought prosperity, would not have developed without the railways. Railways connected harbours and allowed fishing fleets a ready market in the growing towns. Railways were used as a deliberate means of bringing development to the Highlands, and those parts which never had a railway did not develop much at all. The Society hopes to illustrate these special characteristics of Scotland's railways. Watch in 1080p
No.1 “Lord Roberts” at Bo'ness and Kinneil Steam Railway
Please watch: The abandoned Eurostar
--~--
The Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway is a heritage railway in Bo'ness, Scotland. It is operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS), and operates a total of over 5 miles of track (between Bo'ness and Manuel Junction, via Kinneil and Birkhill), virtually the entire Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway that became part of the former North British Railway on the Firth of Forth. Bo'ness railway station is the nucleus of the planned Scottish Railway Museum.
No.1 was built by Neilson Reid of Glasgow in 1899 with works number NR 5710. It then became Coltness no.1 and worked internal works traffic as well as the Coltness Iron Company’s traffic. Then no.1 was transferred to the National Coal Board Scottish Division (NCB) as part of the Scottish coal industry nationalisation settlement. It was based at Twechar, near Kilsyth, and worked at Bedlay Colliery. It was withdrawn in 1968 and in September 1968 the locomotive was presented by the NCB to the SRPS. The locomotive is registered as a “Thomas” and is a powerful locomotive well able to deal with most of the loads required on the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway and is presently under restoration but will return to traffic in 2017.
