The most-known spot to take a picture of the "Harry Potter"-train is at the Glenfinnan viaduct, but that's why it's really crowded. There are some other spots to take a nice picture of the train where you're nearly alone :)

Just follow the road from Glenfinnan to Mallaig and you'll find some laybys beside the road from where you've a nice view to the mountains and the train.
