North British class 56
Visit date: 2009
Year of build: 1946
Status: Static display

I've been wanting to check out this place for some time now after hearing they had a 1946 North British Locomotive standing on display near the station building of this very old railway station. I hear there might even be a 2nd loco lurking somewhere on site as well?

Also for future investigation is the nearby maintenance yard with rows of abandoned passenger coaches, freight wagons and other railway related odds and ends.

The steam loco itself was a fun thing to examine with lots of knobs, levers and gauges to look at. It's too bad they can't do more with this old train rather than resigning it to a mere static display.

More info on this particular loco can be found here:
