An early start and a wet drive down to Taynuilt to get DRS 37087 working the Royal Scotsman, and then over to Dalguise for 50031 and 50049 returning south with the Orcadian.

The first leg of Pathfinder's Orcadian Weekend, using two class 50s from the Class 50 Alliance, 50031 (with 50028 on one side) and 50049 (with 50012 on one side). The chase today was from Carlisle up to Slochd, before heading to Kyle of Lochalsh on Saturday and Wick and Thurso on Sunday.

The final day of the first 2005 MacCookie Tour. We headed back down south, stopping at Slochd Summit to grad our shots of 67022 on the Caledonian Sleeper, 47703, 47709 and 47712 with the Blue Pullman and then 37417 with 6H03 Mossend to Lairg tanks. We then raced the Blue Pullman and managed to pass it at Blair Atholl which meant that we could get a final shot of it at Birnam & Dunkeld.

The first day of the first MacCookie Tour 2006. Again we were heading up north, following the Blue Pullman up from Edinburgh to Kyle of Lochalsh and Thurso. Four locomotives were used for the weekend, 87006 up the ECML to Edinburgh and then various combinations of 47703, 47709 and 47712 from there.

Day 3, the final day of the MacCookie Tour to Kyle, which started with a visit to Culloden Viaduct to shoot 40145 at the start of it's long run back down south. We then went for breakfast before starting the chase of 37417 and 37401 on the Grampian Railtours/SRPS trip from Aberdeen to Kyle of Lochalsh. We gave up at Kyle and headed for home early as the weather was somewhat wet!

The MacCookie adventures continue, with an early drive down to Glen Falloch to start the day off with a sleeper chase (Glen Falloch, County March, Bridge of Orchy and Fort William Junc) and then over to the Highland Mainline to get 31602 and 37261 on the Royal Scotsman before returning to Fort William to get the Caledonian Sleeper back to Glasgow
