AHS001 190774 Aberdeen 40165

I have just come across this one of my fathers which was not with his other slides as it was very dirty. It has come up ok however after a bit of work. It had no label on it but date is 19th of July 1974 as there is a photo on the stream of a class 24 also about to pass Aberdeen Ferryhill on that day and the digger is in the same place. Unfortunately Dad also crossed out the line in his notebook with details of the photo, I can make out that the train is I think the 12.45 to Edinburgh and the loco number may begin 4016, and could be 40165. I am slightly worried about that however as the 40 has a mesh panel and there is a photo of 40165 in 1975 without one (I have a photo of it in 1970 with one but it was green then) and certainly in the late 70's the Scottish 40's did not have them. Also I noticed 40185 (which was a midland loco and would have had a mesh panel) was on an Aberdeen Glasgow service the next day so was in the neighbourhood so to speak.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know!
