Bo'ness Diesel Gala

My last photo outing of 2014 took me back to Bo'ness, a place I have visited several times throughout the past year.

While I have a preference for steam, I thoroughly enjoyed my day out even though the temperature struggled to raise itself much above freezing point all day.

There were several classes of engines going back and forwards from Bo'ness station to Manuel, near Linlithgow.

Coca Cola truck

Coca-Cola's famous red truck has been seen on television since 1996.

It is currently on a 45 stop tour of Britain, for people around the country to queue up to have their photograph taken beside it.

A visit to Glasgow let me get up close to the truck when it stopped at St Enoch's Square.
