Ardgay (was Bonar Bridge)

We have a winner.

This special was run by the Scottish Region to trial RETB on the steam loco as it was to be introduced on the West Highland before the following summer season.

The train caused chaos in Ardgay as the place that was planned to take water did not work. So the steam loco was pulled forward and water hose taken over the fence and through people's gardens to the nearest fire hydrant. The hoses had to go across the main A9 road which runs through the town. We brought the whole place to a halt while we took on water.

Nothing so far. I'll give this until 2200 tonight, then reveal the answer, though if he's online, I'll pass over to a member with the answer already.
