Here is the photo album for Glasgow & South Western Railway No. 9 16379, a 0-6-0T located in Glasgow, Lanarkshire. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

Now displayed in the new Riverside Museum, the loco is perched on the upper floor and looks as if it could roll over the edge at any time! A front end view would today require you to use a drone.

This was the loco when displayed in the original Glasgow Transport Museum in March 1968.

Right at the rear is the brake cylinder and a sand box tucked behind the cab steps. Notice the original rust on the brace for the buffer beam.

Inside the cab. The regulator lever lies on the cab floor - that will stop you driving it over the edge, no doubt.

What a ridiculous way to display an exhibit in a museum. With the front end hanging over the edge of the drop - it may look spectacular but it limits access to the exhibit.

This is the sole survivor of the entire fleet of the Glasgow & South Western Railway's locomotives. It only exists today because the new owners from 1923, the London, Midland & Scottish Railway sold it into industrial service at a coal mine.

Close up of the running gear. Outside cylinders and valve gear.

Between the frames there is no machinery, just plain axles.
