The western flank of Beinn Doran south of Bridge of Orchy, on the approach to the Horseshoe Curve, I suggest.

I reckon 61004 is at Buxton on a rail tour circa 1963

61271 was a Woodford Halse loco and I think that is at Northwood Hills on the Great Central/Met joint line

It is Northwood Hills for sure.
