D8551 at Polmadie

Continuing the Scottish trip, parked under the depot clock, a shape like this, almost space-age, I had never seen before. The Clayton Type 1 was fairly new, concentrated in Scotland, and Polmadie had 15 of them. 3rd April 1964

 

This proved to be a fleeting glimpse for, the second most unreliable loco ever supplied to BR, they were all scrapped within half a dozen years. More class 20s were built in their place.

 

Techy stuff: Zorki 6 and FP3, 35mm negative scan. Full list of locos on shed: link
