Hillington East
Two locomotives from south of the border, of a type not generally seen in Scotland, made an unusual sight parked in sidings near Hillington East in June 1963. Midland 3F 0-6-0s 43721 and 43657 had been withdrawn in 1962 and were destined for the scrapyard. An internet search suggests they were cut up at an English scrapyard (Cashmore's) but I would hazard a guess that it was actually Campbell's of Shieldhall that did the deed.
