Like the last railway, this line was built as an industrial railway and never carried passengers. It was isolated from the national rail network, and initially there was no road access either.

Opened in 1907 it was the first electrically powered railway in Scotland, and the village of Kinlochleven apparently was the first village in the world where all houses had electricity, gaining the nickname "The Electric Village".
Road access to Kinlochleven was gained in the 1920s when German POWs were employed to build the road.
Sadly nothing remains of the railway, and a recent scheme to run a tourist steam railway on the trackbed failed to gain the necessary support.

It is indeed Peckett works no. 1097, formerly at the British Aluminium plant at Larne where it was No. 2.
I had my very first footplate ride on sister loco No. 1 (works no. 1026) at Shane's Castle aged about 3.
