40081 Perth

40081 calls at Perth with a parcels service.

 

I managed to identify the loco thanks to the first class sticker on the bottom central disc and the extra lamp bracket.

 

'Freedom of Scotland' railtourer day four, spring 1981.

 

This looks very much like the 4A40 11:34 Edinburgh to Aberdeen parcels which ran via Stirling and Perth. It was booked for a 40. It would get there at 14:30-15:00. Not sure if it shunted, your shot is in the Caley/Highland platform which would have meant a reverse. A possibility?
