GB_17_Day_7_ Aviemore_46464. Specially positioned in Platform 3 at Aviemore station, for passengers on the GB17 to inspect, was the Strathspey Railway’s Ivatt Class 2, 2-6-0 No.46464. The engine’s beautiful condition was the result of a 20-year restoration scheme which returned it to steam in 2024, after 44 years. The 2-6-0 spent the majority of its 1950 - 1966 service with British Railways operating from Dundee Tay Bridge engine shed and was almost a constant for working the branch line to Carmyllie. In fact it became famous as “The Carmyllie Pilot” and bears a small plate commemorating that; the plate is visible just above the buffer beam. 2nd May 2025. roger.griffiths@hotmail.com
