An interesting complaint originating from Ayr towards the end of steam on the Scottish Region and also towards the end of the locomotive's life. Black Five 45161 ended its days just three months later. Latterly allocated to 64D Carstairs it was withdrawn on 30th November 1966 and eventually cut up at Motherwell Machinery & Scrap, Inshaw Works, Wishaw.
