Balornock Shed

A4 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' about to head north light engine from Balornock (St Rollox) engine shed, probably returning to the home depot of Ferryhill on 3rd November 1965. The morning three-hour express from Aberdeen was at first thought to have been the reason for the loco to be in Glasgow, but the train had in fact been brought in that day by a BRCW Type 2, so the cause of the distinguished A4's presence remained a mystery.
