Polmadie Shed
The A4 Locomotive Society acquired 4498 'Sir Nigel Gresley' in 1966 and had it turned out in LNER Garter blue livery after overhaul. Having made a first run in preservation at the beginning of April 1967, Sir Nigel was in Glasgow the following month for a special day excursion to Aberdeen. The A4 is seen after return in the evening, reversing towards the massive coaling plant at Polmadie, which was by then seeing very little use. Steam had been completely withdrawn by the Scottish Region at the end of April, and only a couple of locomotives per day would turn up from south of the border to be serviced.
