View of No 5's cab interior. Note the sight feed lubricator and the round North British Locomotive Co. works plate - a contrast to the diamond shape of the Dubs works plate on Nos 1 and 3. Dubs became part of North British in 1903. The Hyde park Works on the plate was originally the works of Neilson Reid.
