1958/xx/xx, 3. From the Geoff Plumb collection of original slides. LNER D40 Class 4-4-0 No. 62277 "Gordon Highlander", formerly Great North of Scotland Railway No. 49, was built by North British Locomotive Co., No. 22563/1920, to Heywood's development of the original Pickersgill design of 1899. It is about to depart from Banff with what appears to be some sort of special, exact date not known. The loco, last of its class, was withdrawn in July 1958 and restored to GNoS livery as No. 49, returning to service for special trains in 1959, so the photo cannot be later than 1958. After several more years service it was retired to the Glasgow Museum of Transport. Photographer unknown.
