I am always interested in purchasing collections of North British Railway negatives from pre-grouping through to the final days of British Railways

J83 68468 at Eastfield - ©PM
A charming shot of a J83 shunting a ubiquitous 16 ton mineral wagon at the east end of Eastfield depot. Beneath the footplate we can see plain (rather than fluted) coupling rods along with standard 3 link couplings usually found on the unfitted locos. The lack of a vacuum ejector pipe along the side of the boiler tells us that this engine does not have vacuum brakes.
