D32 9888
I think this scene might be at Berwick, since there are some wonderful Worsdell locos in the background. All the locos are reasonably clean and well cared for.
The North British Railway (NBR) carried large quantities of perishable traffic, of which fish from Mallaig and Aberdeen was probably the most famous.
Reid designed these mixed traffic 4-4-0s specifically for this perishable traffic. One batch of twelve engines was ordered in 1905, and built at Cowlairs in 1906-7. Often known as 'Intermediate Passenger' or 'Intermediate Goods', the Class K (LNER D32) engines were often known simply as 'Intermediates'.
Withdrawals started in 1947 and only ten lasted into BR ownership, the last one being scrapped in 1951.
