Ah right - possibly this bit of railway?

We were riding on the parallel "main" road (A85 actually very quiet). Gorgeous little vale. I did see that track and wonder how ridable it was!

Yep. That's the one. A variety of surfaces from loose gravel to asphalt. It contours around the hillsides above the road along Glen Ogle with some wonderful views. A few sections of the old railway aren't followed (presumably long sold to private interests) and although the path joins them all up those sections are often quite steep and forestry/singletrack.
