I’d just arrived with a group of friends at Fort

William train station on our way to Knoydart for a wilderness hiking trip.
The steam locomotive ‘The Jacobite’ had pulled in and I was drawn to the amazing detail on the wheels. The surface colour and texture which give away that these wheels have travelled many miles. The hammer marks on the metal, the Yellow & Blue oil staining and even the tiny numbers stamped into it. The fan of the cast-in spokes and the main connecting rod make for an interesting composition which I never tire of looking at.
