In 1981 Scotland is still home to lots of loco hauled trains.

Internal trains

Although some 27s are still to be found and the odd no heat 37.
Class 20s may be used to rescue failures.
Glasgow Queen Street - Dundee Boilered Eastfield 27s
can also produced other type 2's, 37's, 40's, 47's and single type 1s can stand in and rescue.
Aberdeen - Inverness Boilered Inverness 27s
Stand ins and rescue could be 47s, 40s and other type 2s.
Inverness - Wick/Thurso & Kyle of Lochalsh Boilered Inverness 26s
Stranraer Eastfield boilered 27s on daily return working to Kilmarnock, but 25s are quite regulary had too, very occasional 37's or 40's

Keep an eye on the Tees Yard to Stranraer speedlink service in the early hours of the morning if you are at Carlisle, as this engine sometimes works the mid-morning Stranraer to Kilmarnock service.
