@Suffolk Rob
Is that the same Killin where I stayed at The Falls of Dochart Inn last year?

Yes it would be. Used to be a short branch off the Calandar and Oban line. Not the most interesting line but typically a 1 coach train with a 4mt tank in it's final years. Buildings available from Pop up designs and always thought it would make a decent micro layout

Yes!

A one carriage train shuttled from Killin Junction on the C&O (Callendar & Oban, not Chesapeake & Ohio!) to Killin. The line continued to the closed station at Loch Tay where the locomotive shed was located at the end of the line. Worked by ex Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T locomotives for years and, latterly, by superpower in the form of BR '4MT' 2-6-4Ts.

The engine had to run round its train at Killin station, which didn't have a loop. The solution would have made Grantham's most famous resident* proud.

There's lots 'N' lots of photographs of the line in its final years and it has featured in the model railway magazines.

* No, not Lady Thatcher - the other one.

All the very best.

Had thought I'd given my 3 some time back but apparantly not. What I would have said if I had is.

Loco: 21/29

Great to see some more metal!

Whilst building benchwork.

Phew.... I go out for the morning and end up with lots of music to listen to.

In the end it was an easy selection for me.

Kraftwerk - I've never been a fan.

Section 25 - interesting and listenable.

Claire Hamill - as with much of her stuff I'm still on the fence.

Metal Heart - Just a no.

Nightwish -  A racket 

Oh dear - not much there for me today.
