Rather apt for this time this year is the 1st photo in this collection of Thomas Wheatley designed locos of the N.B.R.
381 Wheatley J31. The picture of the J31 (with a '3' on its smokebox) as this is the locomotive the LNER chose to represent the 'olden days' during the 1825 - 1925 celebrations of 100 years on the Stockton & Darlington. The loco was already withdrawn and tarted up with all sorts of improbable features before setting off from Glasgow to Darlington. There was some talk of preservation at the time but she went back to Cowlairs where she was scrapped. The '3', of course, was its place in the procession. An 0-6-0 of the North Eastern Railway (also in the procession) sits in behind

8/29 = Laughton Junction on the line to Forth Bridge and Fife. This was a complex Junction where there was a carriage siding and the 2 lines to Aberdeen and the 2 lines to Glasgow diverged thus having crossovers from the Glasgow line to the Aberdeen line in both directions (i.e. from Glasgow direction heading east and from Edinburgh direction heading west. This complex junction no longer exists and only plain line is present today.

211/29 Edinburgh Waverley [East end] as station pilot
15 / 29 Polmont ?
26 / 329 Haymarket ?

 

Thanks Fred

 

Just note a serious typo in previous posting; Laughton should read Saughton Junction with the Edinburgh district of Carrick Knowe behind; one of my early spotting locations. Apologies for the error.

I have added 7 new photos of William Reid's Class C10 and C11 (NBR I and H) 4-4-2 Atlantics.
The North British Atlantic, later known as NBR Class H, and then as LNER Class C11 was a class of 4-4-2 steam locomotive of the North British Railway. The class was designed by William P. Reid, Locomotive Superintendent of the NBR, and entered service under his direction. They were the heaviest, longest, and most powerful (by tractive effort) locomotives ever employed on the North British Railway.
The locomotives passed to the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. They had a long service life, but most were withdrawn during 1936 and 1937, with none surviving into the nationalized British Railways Era
