EDINBURGH DALRY ROAD LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (64C) - This was a 4proad dead-end shed built in 1895 by the Caledonian Railway. Its allocation was large and consisted mainly of small tank and goods engines. It closed in October 1965 by which time it had become home to 10 of the infamous Class 17 diesels. In this picture from 1955 we see BR Class 4P 2-6-4T No.80125 of 63B Stirling, which was brand new, hence the photo.

  • EASTLEIGH WORKS (ZG) - Works Shunter No.323-539-7 is an import from Germany where it was classified as DB-Class 323, an 0-4-0DE, originally built by Kof as a. DRG Kleinlokomotive Class II. Seen here Janaury 2014 shunting newly-refurbished EMU No.508 211.
  • EASTLEIGH WORKS - Seen here undergoing an overhaul in the Wroks is Class 33 BRCW Class 33 Type 3 Bo-Bo DE No.D6531. As can be seen, this was one of the locos fitted for multiple working with Class 4TC coaching stock and EMU's and became 33113 under TOPS. It was withdrawn in October 1992 and is one of the few locos of this class to have been scrapped.
  • EASTLEIGH WORKS - some time in the 1940's I think. The tender loco on the left is a 'King Arthur', perhaps 805 SIR CONSTANTINE.
  • EDINBURGH BATHGATE LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (64F) - Bathgate shed was east of Bathgate Upper Station and on the north side of the line. The 1902 built NBR six-road shed was replaced in 1954 with a new four-road shed on the same site. In February 1959, it had an allocation of 31 engines, mainly small goods engines. From 1959 onwards, it was used a an engine dump by other sheds in the area and so in June 1959 it was host to no less than 20 withdrawn and stored locos in addition to its own allocation. This practice continued right up to closure and so in April 1964 it became home to 3 Class A4's, 5 Class A3's and 3 Class A2's in addition to another 23 locomotives no longer required elsewhere. The shed remained standing after closure in August 1966 right up until the preparations for the re-opening of the Airdrie to Bathgate line. It was demolished and the site is now the car park for the new Bathgate Station, built immediately to the south. Seen here is Class N15 0-6-2T No.69156, a Bathgate engine, withdrawn in February 1962 and seen here one year later.
