1958/xx/xx, 7. From the Geoff Plumb Collection of original slides. Caledonian Railway McIntosh "439" class 0-4-4T No. 55225 is one of the class fitted with a stove-pipe chimney. It has presumably not long been out of works as it has been repainted in plain black livery and carries the later BR totem on the tankside. It is simmering on shed at Polmadie MPD, Glasgow, sometime in summer 1958. Photographer unknown. This engine was built at St. Rollox works in October 1914 and was withdrawn in January 1962, being scrapped at Connell, Union Works, Coatbridge in September 1963.
