0-6-2Ts 69182 and
69146 belonged to LNER class N15 - a Reid NBR design. 69182 has
the cables for lifting the front coupling visible on the smokebox
- a Cowlairs banker? Eastfield (65A) |
 |
...and here's
class-mate 69143, on shed and in steam, at Thornton (62A) |
 |
68349 is an earlier
Reid design, an outside-cylindered 0-6-0T - also in steam and
still earning its keep at Eastfield |
 |
...and 68335 of the
same class at Thornton |
 |
Ballachulish -
McIntosh 0-4-4T 55173, ex-Caledonian Railway, a design dating from
the turn of the last century |
 |
4-4-0 62428 "The
Talisman" is another Reid NBR loco, LNER class D30, on shed at
Hawick |
 |
...and class-mate
62442 "Simon Glover", at Thornton |
 |
0-6-0 57650 - a
hefty-looking 0-6-0 designed by Pickersgill in 1918 for service on
the Caledonian Railway. Hurlford (67B)? |
 |
67492 - one of the
rather attractive 4-4-2Ts build by Reid for the North British,
LNER class C16, appears to be on railtour duties at Leith Citadel |
 |
...but class-mate
67500 may have worked its last train. Parkhead shed. |
 |
Here's an NBR J36 - class-mate of preserved
"Maude". A Holmes design from 1888, 65344 appears to be in good
working order. Bathgate (64F)? |
 |
None of the above locos are still with us
(what a lot we lost in the 50s and 60s). However, already in
preservation were these two - the Caley single no. 123 (only 2
years older than the J36 above) at Kingmoor shed and "Gordon Highlander", the ex-GNoSR
4-4-0 at Dawsholm (65D). They saw railtour service in the early 60s - wouldn't it be
great to see them out again? |
