Dundee Tay Bridge MPD
Peppercorn A2 Pacific 60532 Blue Peter on shed at Dundee, Tay Bridge, alongside stablemate V2 no 60836. The photograph is thought to have been taken on 29 October 1965. The Pacific had arrived at Tay Bridge depot in 1962 after 11 years at Ferryhill, with the V2 moving north from St Margarets in 1965. Withdrawal for both locomotives came in December of 1966, some 6 months prior to the official closure of 62B itself and, while 60532 went on to become something of a preservation celebrity, 60836 was not so lucky, being eventually cut up at Motherwell Machinery and Scrap, Wishaw, in July 1967.
