1968/08/21. From the Geoff Plumb collection of original slides. The classic view of Oban station, overlooked by McCaig's Tower, with North British Type 2 Bo-Bo diesel No. D6119 about to depart with a train for Glasgow, with a rather interesting leading vehicle. These engines were built in 1959/60 and became Class 21, though this loco was one of the class re-engined with a more powerful Paxman power unit and re-classified Class 29. The class was not a success and all had been withdrawn by 1972. Wednesday 21st August 1968. Photographer unknown. Note the semaphore signals originally supplied by Stevens & Sons, complete with the Stevens Orb Finials, though the original lower quadrant arms have been replaced with newer upper quadrants.
