60035 1956 Craigentinny

60035 1956 Craigentinny

60035 (a Haymarket loco) is passing the east end of the carriage sidings at Craigentinny, Edinburgh and approaching Portobello West box on the up (southbound) Talisman.

A nicely turned out 60035 " Windsor Lad " lays an impressive smokescreen in this view as she works the " Talisman " in this North of the Border shot from 1956 .
As L.N.E.R. 2500 " Windsor Lad " , named after a renowned racehorse as were many of her sisters, had been built at Doncaster in July of 1934 and was the first of the final batch of nine newly built class " A 3' s " , this engine being the first of the class to be fitted in 1934 with the " Banjo Dome " steam collector on the boiler top , visible in this view.
She was withdrawn from service in September of 1961 .
