Caledonian Railway McIntosh '908' class 4-6-0 No. 915. Built at St. Rollox in December 1906 and withdrawn in March 1930 as LMS No. 14616.

This lovely portrait of 915 at Gourock Station makes it easy to imagine the impact on the public that such an amazingly impractical livery (light blue) must have conveyed! Equally pristine (though not necessarily comfortable!) 3rd class coaching stock is seen on the adjacent platform.
