Rosyth Dockyard

Scene at Rosyth Dockyard in the 1980s. Two Planet 0-4-0 diesel mechanical locomotives sandwich a curious-looking beam (?) wagon built by Head Wrightson, with a pair of 6-wheel bogies at each end. Presumed internal user. [Additional from Keith Falconer - this could be a nuclear submarine hot core carrier - the fuel rods for a sub would be in a round vessel which fitted a recess in the centre of the wagon. If on the main line it would normally be escorted by an armed guard in a converted mk1 coach.]
