Ferryhill Shed [2nd]
Quite a crowd of spectators at Aberdeen's Ferryhill engine shed, admiring two famous Scottish A4 Pacifics, 60024 'Kingfisher' and 'Number 9'. Out of sight behind 'Kingfisher' was sister locomotive 60019 'Bittern', being serviced at the depot before returning south to Glasgow with BR's 'Last Public Run of an A4' special. One has to think that, on what was probably the last occasion on which these superb steam locomotives were seen together, the two intrusive diesels, NBL Type 2 D6155 and a Class 25, might have shown a bit of discretion by retiring into the shed out of sight.
