Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway in Scotland
Family trip to Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway in Scotland for my son Kyle's Birthday
The Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway has been developed since 1979 on a reclaimed site on the south shore of the Firth of Forth and now welcomes over 60,000 visitors aboard nostalgic steam and heritage diesel trains and through the doors of Scotland’s largest railway museum every year.
Several historic buildings have been obtained and re-erected to provide a traditional railway setting. Bo’ness station opened in 1981. The line was extended to Kinneil in 1984 and to Birkhill in 1989, where the Fireclay Mine was open to the public (closed permanently in 2013). From 2010 the passenger service operates over the extension to Manuel where a new platform was opened in mid 2013.
The railway is a popular film location; recent filming includes Case Histories for the BBC in 2011, Ken Loach’s The Angels’ Share, Cloud Atlas and The Railway Man.
The Museum of Scottish Railways at Bo’ness is three large buildings full of historic locomotives, carriages and wagons, as well as models, displays and photographs telling the history of building, operating and using railways in Scotland. The Museum is recognised by Museums Galleries Scotland as being of national importance to Scotland

B&KR Trainz Update 1: 27001 Bo'ness-Kinneil
This is the first video on my interpretation of the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway in TS2009. I still have a long way to go as you can see but the section around the foreshore between Bo'ness and Kinneil is beginning to look a little like the real thing. This section will still need tweaking and finishing off before it's ready for the DLS.
I have begun work on the line as far as Birkhill but it is much farther from completion as this first section.
Once I have finished the whole line as far as Manuel to a decent level of detail I intend to upload the route for free download on the Trainz Download Station (DLS).
If anyone happens to have a 3D model of the ex-Haymarket train shed at Bo'ness or something similar or knows where I can download one then help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
No.1 “Lord Roberts” at Bo'ness and Kinneil Steam Railway
Please watch: The abandoned Eurostar
--~--
The Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway is a heritage railway in Bo'ness, Scotland. It is operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS), and operates a total of over 5 miles of track (between Bo'ness and Manuel Junction, via Kinneil and Birkhill), virtually the entire Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway that became part of the former North British Railway on the Firth of Forth. Bo'ness railway station is the nucleus of the planned Scottish Railway Museum.
No.1 was built by Neilson Reid of Glasgow in 1899 with works number NR 5710. It then became Coltness no.1 and worked internal works traffic as well as the Coltness Iron Company’s traffic. Then no.1 was transferred to the National Coal Board Scottish Division (NCB) as part of the Scottish coal industry nationalisation settlement. It was based at Twechar, near Kilsyth, and worked at Bedlay Colliery. It was withdrawn in 1968 and in September 1968 the locomotive was presented by the NCB to the SRPS. The locomotive is registered as a “Thomas” and is a powerful locomotive well able to deal with most of the loads required on the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway and is presently under restoration but will return to traffic in 2017.
Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway 1997
On July 27th 1997 my family and I visited the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway. Our locomotive that day was Neilson Reid 0-6-0T Coltness Iron Co. Ltd. No.1 Lord Roberts.
This engine was purchased by Coltness Iron Co. Ltd. in 1902 and it was named after Lord Roberts, the Commander of the British Army in the Boer War. When the Coltness Iron Company closed in 1953, No.1 was bought by the National Coal Board for use at Bedlay pit.
In 1967 the locomotive was taken out of service and gifted by the NCB to the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS). Restoration began in 1990 and No.1 was returned to traffic on the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway in 1996, only one year before this video was shot.
No.1 is currently (2011) masquerading as Thomas the Tank Engine.
I hope you enjoy this presentation.

.Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway Museum Part 1 S.R.P.S.
The Scottish Railway Preservation Society was founded in 1961, at a time when rapid change was sweeping away much of the infrastructure of the Victorian railways. The general object of the Society is stated in its Memorandum of Association :
'...to establish a Museum of Railways in Scotland whereby there shall be preserved locomotives, rolling stock and other equipment and relics of railways in Scotland and of the Scottish railway industry as may illustrate the characteristics of her railways...'
Railways had a particular effect on Scotland, allowing her to develop from a rather isolated part of the British Isles to a land with great industries, whose engineers were known the world over. The industries of steel, coal, shipbuilding and engineering, which brought prosperity, would not have developed without the railways. Railways connected harbours and allowed fishing fleets a ready market in the growing towns. Railways were used as a deliberate means of bringing development to the Highlands, and those parts which never had a railway did not develop much at all. The Society hopes to illustrate these special characteristics of Scotland's railways.Bo'ness & Kinneil Watch in 1080p
