The programme starts at Perth in 1961, with a wide variety of locomotive classes - including ex-LMS and ex-LNER ‘Pacifics’ - viewed at Perth General Station and the locomotive depot. After views on the Glenfarg route south of Perth the branch lines to Crieff and the Gleneagles Hotel feature, with a ‘Caley Jumbo’ No.57261 shunting in Gleneagles station, after which it travels to Blackford with the ‘pick-up’ goods.
