This lovely old Andrew Barclay loco is Scottish through and through. Built by Barclay at Kilmarnock, it spent its working life at Aberdeen gas works before preservation in Scotland, ultimately on the Royal Deeside Railway.

A typical Andrew Barclay design, apart from the covers over the side rods and wheels. This was a requirement in Aberdeen as it involved street running in the town.
