During the 1970s 08421 was an Eastfield loco, but by the early 1980s it had been transferred to Motherwell and was stored
unserviceable. In 1982 it was sent to Swindon Works to be overhauled and fitted with air-brakes, after which it was re-allocated
to Haymarket. In this picture it's seen at Bescot on the journey south. It had arrived in the early hours of Saturday 14th August,
because in this view it's still formed in the middle of a freight train parked in the Down Reception Sdgs. As usual with works-bound
shunting locos the connecting rods have been removed. The position of the BR logo indicates that this loco was last overhauled at
Glasgow Works, as would be expected for a Scottish engine.
