Ex-North British Railway Reid 'A' (LNER 'N15') class 0-6-2 Tank No. 69128. Built by NBL of Glasgow in June 1910 as NBR No. 209 and withdrawn in October 1962.

Only four months separate this June 1962 view of 69128 at St. Margaret's MPD in Edinburgh and its withdrawal in November. Although grimy, it's still in steam and will finish it's 52nd year as useful as ever.
