42789 at Ayr

Hughes-Fowler 'Crab' 2-6-0 No.42789 in steam in the shed yard at Ayr (67C) MPD in August 1966. Previously allocated to Hurlford (67B), it looks as though the 67C smokebox shed-plate has recently been applied. Withdrawn from service in December of the same year at Motherwell depot, 42789 was stored at Stirling depot until despatched for scrap at Motherwell Machinery & Scrap Co. Wishaw in April 1967.
