26 027 at Edinburgh Waverley. 29/03/86.
26 027 idles away with a train of parcel vans on the south loop siding. Since the redevelopment on Edinburgh Waverley station and electrification this goods loop is now platform 10. The class 26 is no doubt standing in for the resident class 08 that was usually employed on such duties back then.
26 027 was finally withdrawn on 26/07/91 and after periods stored at Eastfield and latterly Perth it was put up for sale by BR and sold to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in September 1993. Sadly the sale never went through and in January 1995 26 027 made its final journey to M.C. Metals Ltd at Springburn being disposed of the same month.
