The Arrochar Alps
Created for this months competition using pak128.Britain here is a scene from Scotland. In the centre of the image is Ben Reoch overlooking
Loch Lomond. Below this Glen Douglas separates Beinn Bhreac and Beinn Dubh. The slopes of
Ben Lomond are on the far right while towards the top of the picture are the lower reaches of
Beinn Narnain.
Loch Long can be seen on the far left of the picture. Following the shores of Loch Lomond is the A82 - the main road from Glasgow to Oban and Fort William. At the village of
Tarbert the A83 splits off which passes through the village of
Arrochar before heading up Glen Croe to the pass of Rest and Be Thankful. The
West Highland Railway enters the left of the image winding high along the slopes above Loch Long, stopping at the station of
Arrochar and Tarbert before continuing along Loch Lomond and then north toward Crianlarach.
On the West Highland Railway a northbound Class 37 loco hauled service to Oban waits in the passing place at the station for the newly introduced Class 156 DMU which is on it's way to Glasgow. Unusually (given that this is winter) there's also a steamer on Loch Lomond.
