47492 "The Enterprising Scot" is seen near Carr Bridge (I think) with 1H15 18:03 Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness. 15/7/88. Michael had been on this train since Perth and took numerous photos while leaning out of the window. It's difficult to pin-down exactly where they were taken, as his notes aren't that clear - unusally for him. He was probably more bothered about the actual photos than where they were taken, to be fair.

Michael took this photo of 47469 "Glasgow Chamber of Commerce" somewhere on the Highland Main Line. The train was "The Clansman" - 1S59 08:35 Euston to Inverness, which Mick had boarded in Edinburgh. 12/7/88. You can see road signs in front of the loco, so I wonder whether the train was alongside the A9?

08754 is seen adjacent to Lochgorm Works at Inverness on the 12th July 1988. Although the shot was taken at 20:31 in the evening, it looks like it could have been taken at any time during the day, as it's still so light, being so far north in the middle of summer.
