HAWICK LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (64G) - The North British Railway built the engine shed at Hawick in 1849. It was a stone-built two road shed with one through road located in the goods yard on the west side of Hawick Station. In February 1959, it had an allocation of 16 engines, most of them small and most of North British origin. However, there was one LMS Class 4MT 2-6-0, No.43141, 2 Class V3 2-6-2T's, 2 BR 2MT 2-6-0's and, strangely, one GNR Class N2 0-6-2T, No.69510. It was also home in the 1950's to no less than eight of the wonderfully named Class D30 4-4-0's, No.62425 ELLANGOWAN, seen here in May 1958, being one of them. The shed closed in January 1966.
