Skye Boat Train by Don Breckon.

An LMS Black Five 4.6.0 locomotive heads the boat train to Kyle of Lochalsh along the southern shore of Loch Carron. After the 82 mile rail journey from Inverness the train would connect at Kyle with the boat fro the crossing to the Isle of Skye. The line was completed in 1897, the last 10 miles requiring 31 rock cuttings and 29 bridges. The Black Fives worked passenger and freight trains on the line from the 1930 to the end of steam.

The above extract was taken from the following website http://www.military-art.com/mall/more.php?ProdID=13141

For a fee of £42.00 this print originally published in 1989 can be purchased. So not of great value but a very nice print to own. Hope this helps
Best regards
Phil
